Giant Hill at Cerne Abbas is once again showing what a special place it is for butterflies in Dorset. Year after year it is one of the top places in the County for seeing a many of the species to be found in Dorset including the two shown in these photos.
The first photo shows just 2 of the 15 Grizzled Skippers Jed Corbett saw there on 24/04/2022 and then 2 days later Shona Refoy saw her first Duke of Burgundy of the year there on 26/04/2022 – she also captured this photo of it which is the first one reported to Dorset BC this year.
Our thanks to both Jed and Shona for sharing their photos with us and if you too go to Giant Hill you never know what you might find there.
