Devil's Dyke

After days of rain it actually brightens up for our walk along the Devil's Dyke. First stop was the section near Newmarket Racecourse. Had our lunch on a sunny bank watching the horses go by. Some people showed us the Chalk Hill Blue butterfly, while a new plant species was Bastard Toadflax. From here it was on to another section. Walked towards Reach where we had a drink in the Dyke's End pub. Were impressed by the large Privet Hawkmoth caterpillar we saw on some privet!
