Bonus Brown Argus

13/9/2022

With only two weeks to go to the end of the 26-week butterfly counting season, transect 24 was walked on Monday by GH and BG. Although cloudy to start with, the weather soon picked up nicely to give a fine warm early autumn morning.
 
Once again the count consisted of Meadow Browns, Common Blues plus a Small White and a couple of Speckled Woods, to which were added the surprise bonus of seven Brown Arguses – we've only recorded one of these in each of the months of June, July and August. 

Count details:
14 
Meadow Brown
  7 Brown Argus
  5 Common Blue
  2 Speckled Wood
  1 Small White
 
Summary:
29 butterflies from 5 species.
