Sep 28 Mousehold Heath


Small Copper
This afternoon, I was back at Mousehold to help out with the last butterfly survey of the year with Will the warden. It was reasonably pleasant, though large black clouds did block out the sun a couple of times, but thankfully it did not spoil the survey with rain. The survey itself went well with a total of ten butterflies, not bad for this time of year. This included 6 small coppers, 2 large whites, 1 red admiral and 1 speckled wood. We also saw a rather large common lizard, a frog and several toadstools and mushrooms.
