Just a quick update for the bank holiday: the hybrids are still in flower but going over so many are already in seed. No Lady orchid came up this year but the Monkey Orchids are still going strong and looking pretty good. Bee orchids are just starting to flower at the base of slope 4, beyond the beech tree.
Dingy Skippers & Small Heaths are all very common. Common Blues are starting and I think I saw the first Meadow Brown.
