I was on-site most of the day, and the Glanvilles were also active for most of it. I got a lovely photo of a male on Greater Yellow Rattle, one of Britian's rare flowers.<br /><br />A "lucky" photographer also found a male, while visiting the site for other butterflies. I was asked to confirm what he had just seen as he was still in shock.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297012542834525300.post-36848179304164687572012-06-22T20:55:29.482+01:002012-06-22T20:55:29.482+01:00Greenie.

A visit in sunshine at this time will find a few. One even turned up on a guided walk today. Hopefully there will be some sun on Saturday. Marc, a little stronger wind and there will be a Kent one! if the colony spreads it will get into Kent in a few years.<br /><br />Have to use anon, as many of you would guess the location.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297012542834525300.post-62091665068069797302012-06-22T13:49:19.669+01:002012-06-22T13:49:19.669+01:00You got the very best out of a bad weather day Gre...You got the very best out of a bad weather day Greenie!

Their appearence last year was kept quiet until December 2011[Surrey & LNHS Butterfly Transect Data Published], but with more sightings this year there seems to be a small surviving colony. Their habitat is managed as south facing undercliff so they have exactly they require.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297012542834525300.post-50208329477368855522012-06-21T22:03:45.063+01:002012-06-21T22:03:45.063+01:00Greenie, try looking at uk moths again for Mottled...Greenie, try looking at uk moths again for Mottled Beauty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297012542834525300.post-66087583737496238872012-06-21T21:53:04.051+01:002012-06-21T21:53:04.051+01:00Wow, How I would love to see one of them in Kent. ...Wow, How I would love to see one of them in Kent.
