I
cannot believe that I have walked past these Early Spider Orchids in previous
years, given the sheer number of visits I have made to HP. There are only 10
that I could count, and most are quite small although the one just off the main
pathway looked superb. Also saw some Grizzled and Dingy Skippers, Small Coppers
and a rather worn looking Painted Lady which is part of a recent influx onto
the south coast. Later in the day I found 5 Green-winged Orchids at a new site
near the Bexhill Downs just off the A259.
