It was a great pleasure to meet up with
François Piolino again and to walk Crowlink - two of the Seven Sisters (Brass point and Rough Brow) - Lime Kiln Bottom - Foxhole bottom - Friston Forest.

Spot the butterfly.
A Painted Lady, an apposite butterfly to see on this day as tenor François Piolino is currently appearing in Madama Butterfly at
Glynebourne.
Centaury with a Burnet moth.
At least twelve Dark Green Fritillaries were flying around. One copulating pair were blown out to sea by the strong northerly wind on their nuptial flight.

Also seen but not photographed were Small Coppers and possibly a Ringlet in the Forest. Birds seen included a Flycatcher and two Meadow Pipits.
However, the driver for this walk was orchids: Burnt Orchids, Pyramidal and Broad-leaved Helleborines, which will be covered in a separate entry.

Thank you Peter, I visited the Newdigate Brickfields today on your recommendation and following your posting on the SOS site. My target was the White-legged Damselflies and they certainly seem to be plentiful and showed very well.
A nice area which I think could be interesting in winter too.
