Wolstonbury Hill today

What lovely weather for a stroll up Wolstonbury with Border collie, Jess.
A Comma butterfly caught my eye feeding on bramble flowers.

Harebells were in flower on the hill.

Whitebeam was fruiting well.

 Scabius flowers were common.

Butterflies were really abundant.  Above looks like a Gatekeeper.

Above a Common blue.  They were numerous after some weeks of absence.
Marbled Whites and Peacocks were around too but were too elusive to photograph on this day.

A skipper of some sort.

Gatekeeper.

The hillside was dotted with these lovely "Pride of Sussex" flowers.

Another abundant plant in full flower was the Greater Knapweed.
