Castle Hill NNR - 4th May

A third visit to Castle Hill and nine days since the last one. Now the Early Spider Orchids are at their peak and can be found at various places throughout the reserve. Despite the slow start they seem to be having a very good year with many of them in superb condition. Butterflies seen included a Grizzled Skipper and Small Copper.
