Walking in Darwin’s footsteps we saw orchids galore, grasshoppers, bugs and a highlight was seeing a small blue butterfly.
A fine setting for a Kent botany meeting - Allington Castle.
Out yesterday to recce some sites for @kentfieldclub.bsky.social visits. Nice to find a couple of fairly uncommon insects - the bug Aphanus rolandri on a Low Weald farm & the beetle Platystomos albinus at @kentwildlife.bsky.social's Ironhurst Valley. #KentNature
