On 1st August, Anne D-N watched two small butterflies feeding on flowers of the Lesser Burdock just beyond the gate at the top of Chalky Road. Initially, she believed them to be female Common Blue butterflies, but on closer inspection of the photos at home with her identification books, she has identified them as Brown Argus butterflies. The underwing has no ‘forewing spot’ close to the body, and the open wings showed no hint of blue.
