The best time for a first visit to Hartslock is May to July when you can see the host of orchids - Bee, pyramidal and common spotted-orchids, common twayblade and white helleborine grow on this sloping grassland. The reserve is also excellent for insects, featuring a variety of bee species, uncommon grasshoppers and day-flying moths. Butterflies include the lovely chalkhill blue, green hairstreak and grizzled skipper. The rare Adonis blue adds a further splash of colour with the brillian turquoise-blue of the male butterfly. On summer evenings, red kites soar above this colourful spectacle, while swallows skim over the pasture. For further details on the reserve, access and parking, please visit the BBOWT website.
