Horseshoe Plantation - 8th June

A great day at HP today with lots of variety in terms of butterflies. Adonis Blue, Grizzled and Dingy Skipper, Small Blue, Green Hairstreak, Common Blue (including some gorgeous looking ‘blue’ female Common Blues) and Brown Argus. This is a great time of the year when all of these species look in very good condition … and the Bee Orchids are starting to flower!
