Since Andy was visiting Bexhill we decided to spend the morning first at Fore Wood and then Marline Valley. At Fore Wood we saw, as hoped for, the three specialities namely White Admiral, Silver-washed Fritillary and Purple Hairstreak. However none settled except for the Hairstreak which was gone before I could get a photo. The Damselflies were present in good numbers by the pond. At Marline Valley a Clouded Yellow flew through and this time stopped just long enough for the camera. Oh and yes we both agree that these look like Violet Helleborines in Marline Wood. Still need a couple of weeks at least though before they are in flower.
