I went to Kithurst Meadow today mainly to check it out after hearing on the Sussex Butterflies that it was in a right old state and...it wasn't...not sure what that was about...bumped into CK who agreed that the meadow was in good shape and then randomly a lady cyclist pushing her bike along the meadow path, her words: "It's full of butterflies!!" Reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated!! A brief look at Chantry Hill as well found Small Skippers, more Chalkhill Blues but no Silver-spotted Skippers, too cloudy and cold for them I think. Pictures from Kithurst.
