Scenes from a walk (part one). An interesting 12 mile walk from Southease to Lewes to try and find Adonis Blue butterflies (successful) and Wartbiter Crickets (unsuccessful). Made up for it by seeing a Wall Brown though.
1) Adonis Blue (male)
2) Chalkhill Blue (female)
3) Common Blue (male)
4) Wall Brown (male - note the dark brown band of scent scales on the forewing)#walking #hiking #rambling #SouthDowns #butterflies #butterfliesandmoths #nature #wildlife #outdoors #alttext
