Chalkhill Blues at Wareham

Last month on a beautiful balmy day had a lovely adventure up  in North Norfolk at a lovely place called Wareham Camp, we found a pub called The Three Horseshoes at Wareham, went straight accross the crossroads, and parked in a little lay by, i task was to find the Chalkhill Blue butterfly, we walked along the lane and came to a path off to our right, the wind had got up a bit but down this path we were well sheltered it was lovely and warm, a fleeting promise of things to come as a flash of lilac blue fluttered by us, through a large gate at the bottom of the lane, and our breath was taken away, a vast mound with a large ditch between another large embankment, and covered in wild flowers including ragwort which itself was covered in lilac butterflys, we sat atop the mound and were surrounded by these beautiful little lilac shimmering beauties, well worth a visit.
