There were many butterflies including Painted lady (Cynthia cardui) on the Wild thyme, Meadow brown (Maniola jurtina), Small heath (Coenonympha pamphilus), Small blue (Cupido minimus) and Small skipper (Thymelicus flavus). There were also sand wasps (Ammophila sabulosa), Scorpion flies (Panorpa germanica), pale flies (Thereva annulata), Grey bush crickets (Platycleis albopunctata) and grasshoppers.
