Steyning Downland Scheme. 17 species of Butterflies, 3 Moths, 1 Grasshopper, and a Leaf! 28.07.22

Steyning Downland Scheme is a marvellous project at promoting Butterfly diversity. For further information see Home | Steyning Downland Scheme. I recodred what I saw last time I visited here: Steyning Downlands Scheme: a Marsh Tit, a Dingy Skipper and a Grey Wagtail. 05.07.22 (simelliott.net) It was easy to reach by bus number 2 from Brighton (an hourly service, and an hour trip from central Brighton to Steyning). 2 - Steyning-Rottingdean | Brighton & Hove Buses
