We had 280 on the transect last year. I saw a Painted Lady in the same spot May 22nd feeding on the clumps of Garlic Mustard. I was on Chapel Bank looking at the Orchids when you were onsite last Friday, We are still waiting to see if the Glanvilles have survived from last year. 15 were seen last May & June, 7 on transect.<br /><br />We have a guided butterfly walk on Hutchinsons Bank & Chapel Bank on Sunday 3rd, 11am Farleigh Dean Crescent.<br /><br />details from myself, passiflora@blueyonder.co.ukSpockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06782671339753849339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297012542834525300.post-34428147939810249492012-05-28T16:33:47.825+01:002012-05-28T16:33:47.825+01:00Lovely photos Greenie and an interesting post agai...Lovely photos Greenie and an interesting post again.
