# Arreton Down Wildlife Reserve

> Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust

The Arreton Down Wildlife Reserve holds a huge variety of wildflowers and the most useful areas on Arreton have actually around 30 types per square metre and so the downland is consuming that is great yes when it's grazed through the winter by their own herd of farming cattle!The scrub sides associated with downland is a cherished habitat for nesting birds and provides a private corridor for Red squirrels to perform through to forage as well as the landscape is liberally sprinkled with butterflies seasonally, like the typical blue, Brown Argus, Gatekeeper, Small Heath, big, Little, Dingy and Grizzled skipper, Green hair streak, Marbled white, occasional Clouded yellow with a spectacular emergence of Chalkhill blues in August! A much better spot for mini beast safaris is frankly hard to find.If you are taking small twitchers they truly are in for a treat too, with regulars on the down Kestrel that is including Buzzard, Green woodpecker, Lark, Yellowhammer, Stonechat, Wheatear, therefore the dark guests of the Rookery at the Western end of this down.
