The last time we went butterflying on St Catherine's Hill was almost two years ago; for some reason, we didn't go there last year. So time to go back there again, and see what butterfly species we could encounter.
By far the most common species was chalk hill blue; it was difficult to look somewhere and not see at least one fluttering about.
One group of three males was trying
very hard to make sure there would be chalkies there next year .... poor female ...
And one male was still flying, despite having lost one hindwing and a large part of one forewing.
Besides chalkies, the most notable species included silver-spotted skipper, brown argus, and clouded yellow; first time I managed to get a picture of one!
No damsels or dragons at St Catherine's Hill, so just the one table (one = 1; few = 2-4; several = 5-9; many = 10+):
