Large Blue 
Marbled White
Dave & Craig hunting for Large Blues
Professor Jeremy Thomas
Our second destination was Green Down close to Glastonbury. The temperature had risen so we knew this was against us. There are no easy walks when butterflying, this was no different with a stiff uphill walk taking us to the sheer steep chalk banks.
The Large Blues were in single figures throughout our visit which were similar to what had been reported. When talking to a local, he informed us that numbers were generally double before 11am. The blues are stunning to see but proved difficult to photograph with conditions as warm as they were.
Other species recorded was first Marbled White & Ringlet, 3 Common Blue, 1 Painted Lady, good number of Meadow Brown, Small Heath & a Red Admiral.
