Magdalen Hill Down is a small nature reserve squeezed between several roads, just outside Winchester. It's maintained mostly as a poor grassland habitat. It was a sunny day, but with a similarly blustery wind to yesterday.
Probably not surprisingly, given the habitat similarity, the species we saw were a subset of those we saw yesterday: chalk hill blue, common blue, brown argus, small heath. The only species we saw today that we didn't see yesterday was a holly blue
Eight species in total; here's the table (one = 1; few = 2-4; several = 5-9; many = 10+).
