Steyning Rifle Range is a former target shooting range which has now become a mecca for those wishing to see Brown Hairstreaks in Sussex. The females usually start to fly about ca. 10.30 a.m. provided that there is sufficient sun and the air temperature is high enough. On this occasion we saw just one female Brown Hairstreak during the couple of hours we spent searching the site.

Back at base I looked over the Autumn Ladies Tresses which grow on the bowling green in the Polegrove in Bexhill. Some of them are just starting to come into flower.
