This summer, Priest Hill has become a lot more 'wild' and has become more of a nature reserve thanks to all the rain, and for some, 'unpleasant' weather. We can really see the long grass and wildflowers coming through which attract Meadow brown butterflies which one can see in the photos. Marbled white butterflies are also very common now at priest hill. Knapweed attracts many butterflies and as you can see, this is what the Meadow Brown is sitting on. |

AboutPriest Hill Nature reserve is a very new nature reserve, it used to be where schools played sport. Slowly it became disused and became a dump. A few years later it was transformed into the nature reserve it is today, early in 2014 it had hundreds of breeding skylarks, it was one of the top locations of them in England. Archives
