BARBURY CASTLE
Plenty of butterfly activity around Barbury Castle during my visit there today on a very warm and sunny morning. My aim was to find some chalkhill blues, of which I saw only about four, but there were many meadow browns and gatekeepers as well as smaller numbers of other species, including small and essex skippers, small, large and green veined whites, marbled white. small heath,small copper, speckled wood, brown argus, peacock, red admiral, and small tortoiseshell.
