Lancing Ring

Accompanied by webmaster of North Lancing dot com, A short visit to Lancing Ring on Saturday via the Mill Road entrance and through the butterfly Meadow was not enhanced with a wealth of butterfly sightings but dotted with incidents. A Common Blue here and a Meadow Brown there. I saw Ten Blues at most including one Small Copper (which at the time had me struggling to remember it's name) and four Meadow Browns with just a single Red Admiral.
Short of time we pushed on to the Dew Pond which was a pitifull state, despite recent rain, just a muddy puddle remained in the Reed infested water hole. Unsurprisingly not a single Dragonfly darted over the stagnating morass.The round trip was completed via the Chalkpit where a small glimmer of exitement was provided by a male Wasp Spider, Argiope bruennichi in it's Orb web draped in the Brachypodium (Tor) grass.
A longer visit may have been more productive but this brief late summer visit was short on highlights.
