THE BEES KNEES

The weather turned out better than expected today at Samphire Hoe so managed to see a few butterflies and orchids.
COMMON SPOTTED ORCHID they are now in bloom around the reserve.

BLUE TAILED DAMSEL FLY

ADONIS BLUE

It is difficult to capture the vivid electric blue of the ADONIS.
A variant blue female ADONIS BUTTERFLY
A small patch of BEE ORCHIDS may be seen if you are patient.
