SILVER-STUDDED BLUE

Taken Slop Bog, Ferndown, Dorset. This small nature reserve has boundaries with the Ferndown bypass and a residential area, however, it is an oasis for the Siver-Studded Blue. I paid an early visit to this site which is almost on my doorstep, as with most butterflies this year they had emerged earlier than usual. A beautifully marked butterfly that can be found on low lying heathland throughout Dorset .
