Aug 17th Mousehold Heath


Butterfly survey at Mousehold Heath
This afternoon, I helped out with a butterfly survey at Mousehold Heath. It was raining earlier this morning, but thankfully the afternoon was bright and sunny enough to do the survey in. We managed to record 32 individual butterflies and 10 species. This included 4 common blues and 4 small coppers, a couple of red admirals, peacocks, a comma, 2 gatekeepers and several meadow browns and large and small whites. Not bad despite it being a little breezy and the rain from this morning.
