4 Walk on chalk downland in summer with singing Skyarks, stunning flowers buzzing with bees, butterflies + stridulating Orthoptera.
5 Southern heathland in late summer- a riot of colour, carnivorous plants reptile heaven, specialised dragonflies + other inverts + birds such as Dartford Warblers, Woodlark + Stonechat |
Aeshna5; Hunting Barn Owls,
Red Deer rutting and Dorsets heaths almost made my top 5 .Is 5 enough? Just goes to show what a wealth of wildlife we have on OUR islands.
