Butterfly Survey, July 25th
This was my week to do the butterfly survey on the reserve (the survey is carried out weekly from April to September, with 9 volunteer surveyors doing each responsible for 3 weeks). This week I counted 131 butterflies of 10 species, a good total reflecting the fact that this has been a good summer for butterflies. Large Whites were most numerous, followed by Speckled Wood & Red Admiral. Other species seen were: Small White, Green-veined White, Comma, Common Blue, Small Tortoiseshell, Meadow Brown and Gatekeeper.
