Valley Butterflies

The permisive path to Ashton  is proving to be the village's best site for butterflies, Orange tips, Small Tortoiseshells, Green Viened Whites, Red Admirals, Common Blues, Peacocks and Clouded Yellows were all seen in small numbers, while the sheltered slopes of old chalk quarry just north of the cricket field were thronged with Common Blues feeding on its foodplant, Bird's Foot Trefoil.
