Martin Down

A summers day walk amongst the chalk grasslands of Martins Down, was a good opportunity to take some marco photos of flowers and some butterflies.

There were plenty of these orchids about.

In the grasses I managed to find some of these Common Blue butterflies.

These two posed nicely together.
