13.30 - 14.00. Seen in the small clearing on the Wiltshire side of the fence near the trig point. Good numbers of SSBs - the prevailing winds seemed to have blown them in from Hampshire. 19 male, 17 female. Leaving and walking to Downton to catch a bus, lots of fresh STs and Cs seen in the wider countryside, RAs continuing to show strongly, and a single very fresh PL on the approach to Downton. A very enjoyable walk!
