Tuesday 7th May transect

8/5/2019

0 Comments

 

Today's weather forecast predicted temperatures too cold for butterflies and it was decided to walk the transect anyway to enable Andy to see at first hand the high level of scrub incursion on Coneyboro Hill and Fames Rough. 
 
There was a cool headwind as we started out across Hither Field but we soon started seeing butterflies in more sheltered areas where the sun's heat could be felt. So, although we started not expecting to see many butterflies, we actually ended with quite a good tally to submit in our report to
Butterfly Conservation (UKBMS). 

Our count included:
29  Brimstone
18
Dingy Skipper
11 Green Hairstreak
  4 Grizzled Skipper
  3 Small Heath
  2
Orange Tip
  1 Comma
  1 Peacock
  1 Green-veined White
  1 Small Copper
  1
Holly Blue 
 
 72 butterflies across 11 species.
