I decided to stay near to pick her up and share her experience. In the meantime I walked into Blean and Clowes Woods behind the Dog's Trust, I was not expecting anything grand as the heat was extreme even under the thick canopy of trees, how wrong was I! A few footsteps along the footpath off the Radfall Road and in front of me one of our rarest butterflies, the Heath Fritillary. The rare heath fritillary was on the brink of extinction in the 1970s, but conservation action turned its fortunes around. It is still confined to a small number of sites in the south of England.<br /> <br /> The heath fritillary is a rare butterfly that is restricted to a few key habitats: primarily, coppiced woodland or sheltered heathland where it can be seen flying close to the ground in a distinctive flutter-and-glide pattern. It is confined to a small number of sites in Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Kent, and has also been reintroduced into sites in Essex. Although very local in its distribution, this butterfly can be seen in large numbers in good years. It forms discrete colonies and rarely strays from its main breeding grounds. Colonies in South East England are found in woodlands where the larval food plant, common cow-wheat, grows. Colonies in South West England are found on heathlands that are home to the larval foodplants ribwort plantain and germander speedwell.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/303geek/">303geek</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/303geek/54597292949/" title="Canterbury, UK"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54597292949_aed063ccb4_m.jpg" width="240" height="240" alt="Canterbury, UK" /></a></p> <p>CineStill 400D<br /> Canon Rebel<br /> EF 24-105L</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/202198288@N05/">Thimo_s</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/202198288@N05/54595565812/" title="Road to Mt.
