Steyning Rifle Range & Mill Hill - 15th August

A trip to the rifle range at Steyning to see Brown Hairstreaks proved ultimately successful with one female being seen at about 10.30 a.m., as well as a Speckled Wood. Thereafter headed off to Mill Hill near Shoreham which seems to be the best place to see Adonis Blues. Managed to find several pairs mating.
