Five very fresh Marsh Fritillary males were in the Butterfly Ride at Pembrey Forest yesterday (despite needing to wade through standing water to get to them).

Also a single Small PBF, and the highest numbers of Grizzled and Dingy Skippers since we started monitoring the site in 2007. Still very few Small Blues though.
Isabel also had 4 Marsh Frits at Brynamman (at a site where they've not been seen since 2000), so the season is well underway.
And at the request of Ian Morgan, here's a photo of
Anania funebris...one of
22 seen in
Glamorgan yesterday, see

Good....I can start looking at my planned sites-to-visit now. The trouble is, a lot of `good` wildlife appears at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for useful tip-off George. I`m sure that any such `tip-offs` will be valued by all eg `look for moth `x` now on plant `y` etc etc...
Thanks George for posting the photo.
