Two walks took place in different areas of the park. It emerged that we are inundated with Gatekeepers, as Audrey expected.....but we also spotted Large Whites, Small Whites, Green-veined Whites, Speckled Woods, Common Blues, Small Skippers, Meadow Browns, Six Spot Burnet moths and a solitary Red Admiral! We were also very fortunate to spot a Small Copper on our second walk and Audrey spotted Commas prior to our walks - but they did not favour us with their presence at the required times - so could not be recorded!
All our sightings were a great indication of the bio-diversity at Biss Meadows. A huge thank you to all who took part and helped us spot and record the various species - especially to those who braved the thistles (in shorts) and deftly avoid the anthills!!! '
We will add the spottings to our Spotted database soon. Text by Ashley Wicks.
