Fore Wood - 13th July
Another visit to Fore Wood near Crowhurst, this time early in the morning in the hope of seeing a Purple Hairstreak low down before they move higher up towards the top of the Oak trees. Just as I was about to give up a female landed next to me on some bracken and briefly settled before flying off. The Silver-washed Fritillary numbers are starting to slowly climb. Also found some pristine Peacock, Gatekeeper, Green-veined White, Ringlet and Comma.
