I went to the Devils Dyke and New Timber in the afternoon on the 77 bus, and spent four hours looking at butterflies, moths, other insects, birds and wild flowers. The 77 bus summer timetable is now in place, so you can get a bus every 45 minutes, until the early evening, every day. First bus from Churchill Square Brighton is 9.52, and the last bus back from the Devil's Dyke is 20.35. But check the timetable before you go; don't rely on this information as timetables change! Timetable: 77 - Devil's Dyke-Brighton Pier | Brighton & Hove Buses.

This is a record of the butterflies and birds I saw. The photographs are listed by species alphabetically; but where I saw more than one individual of a specific species the individuals are presented chronologically within the species category. With some individuals I have posted more than one photo of it, where different photos are of interest
