Aston Rowant NNR Monday 3rd August

I went up to Aston Rowant (Bald Hill) this morning to look for Silver spotted skippers. A few were seen flying around.The most numerous butterfly seen was the Chalkhill blue with males flying up all around me while walking across the hill.Whilst looking around I was lucky enough to find a mating pair of six belted clearwings. I also found my second ever Downland villa bee fly, my first being at Daneway banks earlier in the year.
