The sun was out yesterday and so were the butterflies although not in large numbers at Seafields Park a small park behind the beach at Salturns beach near Lee on Solent. Unlikely to be mistaken for any other species this easily recognised butterfly the Marbled White is a distinctive and attractive black and white butterfly, found in unmanaged and unimproved grassland. It shows a marked preference for purple flowers such as Wild Marjoram, Field Scabious, thistles, and knapweed.
