PREES HEATH

 
Just over the Cheshire border and into Shropshire is Prees Heath, a butterfly conservation area  that is the only place in the West Midlands where the Silver-studded Blue can be found.  After all the rain in June, the sun shone in July, birds seem to be keeping well out of sight so chasing butterflies seemed to be the better option. The first morning we arrived at 0900 and by this time it was 25degrees C,  and the butterflies were too mobile to take pictures.  The following morning we arrived at 0730  and these are a few of the shots taken that day.
