This spring I have visited both Hockley Woods and Belfairs Woods in search of Heath Frits and seems this year is a good one for this superb butterfly. Belfairs Woods on 15th June produced around 90+ very smart individuals.
The broken cloud and on/off sunny spells meant that most were not blatting around at a hundred miles an hour but were perched up trying to get what sun they could. The next few images are from Belfairs.
Looking back over the years I have included other favourite images of numerous Heath Frits from Belfairs Woods, Hockley Woods and Starvelarks Woods; now is the time to see them at their best.
