The morning of 15 July saw me exploring Benfleet Downs in search of butterflies, with the main target being White-letter Hairstreak. I took an early train to South Benfleet and was on site by 7AM. I had a nice wander watching Marbled Whites flitting around a meadow and eventually, after two hours of searching, found some White-letter Hairstreaks. It was great to out watching wildlife and have such a good selection of biodiversity close to home.
