Aston Rowant
A couple of weeks ago we paid a quick visit to the Aston Rowant reserve in the Chilterns on our way back from a few days in The Lake District (lots of stuff yet to to come from two trips there and a week in Scotland). We were hoping to see Silver-spotted Skipper which are usually abundant at this superb site and did see lots of them, but the highlight was seeing a female egg-laying and finding and getting photos of the egg. Chiltern Gentians were as stunning as always and being the Chilterns we had some superb views of Red Kite too.

Lovely pics of the kite. I used to be a PC at Uxbridge and they'd circle over the nick. Some of my colleagues who lived locally used to feed them in their gardens, whereas me, a country guy who lived in Dorset never used to see them!
Terrific photos of the Skipper, Karen! It took Linda and me a whole morning to find one a couple of weeks before your visit!
Found your blog via Twitter and like your pics of the SSSkipper.
