Unappealing weather

2/9/2021

0 Comments

 
Tuesday's transect was walked in cloudy, lukewarm weather which, from the numbers we counted, did not greatly appeal to the butterflies. The number of species was down to only 5 compared with last week's 11, and the total count of butterflies was 104, against 221 last  week.
Here's what we saw:
79 
Meadow Brown
15 Brown Argus
  8 Common Blue
  1 Small Copper
  1 Speckled Wood
