Kent's Chalk Grassland
I recently visited Burham Down and Queendown Warren to look for early flowering orchids. Both sites are SSSIs managed by the Kent Wildlife Trust. They represent excellent examples of unimproved chalk downland and have some amazing plants. I was lucky enough to find both lady and man orchid while other species of interest included ground pine and the adonis blue butterfly. A few of the best shots below:
