I am spending a couple of nights with Jane and Peter near Church Stretton in Shropshire; many thanks for sharing your home and area with me. This morning we were up early to visit Prees Heath, a reserve near Whitchurch . The speciality there is the Silver-studded Blue and indeed we saw dozens of these beautiful little blues roosting in the heather. The males are browner on the underside and irridescent brown, purple and orange on the upper side. The males are blue washed on the bodies and the undersides. We also saw Small and Large Heaths and Ringlet.
