Dorset Walks
Monday July 1st Badbury Rings
A superb walk in perfect conditions on a beautiful summer's morning.
For most of us this was the first day this year that we saw butterflies in any number, and I think for all of us this site produced the best display of orchids we had ever seen - 7 species in all!.
