Time to pay the Duke some respect!

Having only spent minimal time in previous years both looking for and seeing the Duke of Burgundy butterfly, I decided to spend some time with these special little gems of a butterfly on the South Downs in West Sussex. They did not disappoint and was also a new butterfly species for Robyn. There was also many Dingy Skippers around aswell as 1 or 2 Grizzled. A few orchids were in flower...they were purple and I took some photo's but will name them later! A Tree Pipit was singing and displaying nearby...top day out!
