With the number of chiffs much less and a beautiful day we decided to go to Kingsdown for the Long-tailed Blues. We met in the Hamstreet car park and headed for the Lees. We parked just below the golf course and walked along the cliffs searching every sweet pea as we went.
It took a while but eventually one was found. It stayed for a short while before flitting off.
A peregrine swooped along the cliffs, turned and flew back and then disappeared over the edge.
Two more Long-tails were seen spiralling and flitting about over a wild grass 'meadow' but following news from others we headed further along to where a slightly tattier female was much more obliging allowing photographs and great views.

There was also a supporting cast of Whites, Common and Adonis Blues.
We returned home after a lovely afternoon.
