Silver-spotted Skipper and Chiltern Gentian at Aston Rowant
We popped in for a quick visit to the Aston Rowant reserve in the Oxfordshire Chilterns on our way to East Anglia at the beginning of September. It was early in the morning but the sun had already been out for a couple of hours by the time we arrived and so our target species Chiltern Gentian was nicely open and although it was still pretty chilly we saw a few Silver-spotted Skippers too.
