Gorgeous April day on #CissburyRing
Blackthorn in flower, chiffchaffs, blackcaps and skylarks singing, white chalk paths, gorse in flower with the scent on coconut, the oak tree throwing shadows.

Beautiful day on #CissburyRing - so nice to see the sun and blue sky after days of rain.
Heard a buzzard, a green woodpecker, robins and think I heard a skylark too.

A gloriously frosty #CissburyRing
Blue sky, warm sun and thick white mist over the river Adur. My favourite oak tree on the summit.
Happy New Year’s Eve!

so many butterflies and wildflowers.
Marbled whites, gatekeepers, meadow browns, small skippers, painted ladies and a fritillary. Not sure what the silvery moth is on the ragwort.
Final excitement was seeing a lizard! Too fast for a photo

May is my favourite month of the year . The Hawthorn trees look like giant bridal bouquets and the paths are edged with Cow Parsley 🥰

Thought it could be a Chalkhill Blue but not sure, anyone know?

Great to have the clouds back again. A few wildflowers and butterflies still around and a green woodpecker flew up in front of me with a loud alarm call.

Jamie Parsons of @sussexwildlife.bsky.social speaking at an informative public meeting last night about the Trust’s possible purchase of Tenants Hill (part of #CissburyRing). The aim would be to transform the land into a new nature reserve and back to chalk grassland and scrub.
Hope it goes ahead!

Chalk downland is so beautiful at this time of year - white paths, wildflowers, grasses, bees, butterflies.

Beautiful day on #CissburyRing - lots of frothy blackthorn out, full of humming bees. Saw a Comma, Brimstone and several Peacocks.
Skylarks, robins and blackbirds singing.

A walk on #CissburyRing - one of my favourite places, still beautiful but sad and worrying to see the ground so dry and the grass brown in spring. Chalk paths bright white.
There’s been very little rain here since January.
