Popular Post Doc Posted July 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2018 Saw my first clouded yellow yesterday. Well in fact there was two dancing around, what a lovely butterfly they are. They are super quick and hardly land, I would say I watched them for 90 minutes and they landed 5 times. Also quite a few Essex skippers were around at the Forge in Ironville. +Ibbo, +Derbyshire Dave, Tweedledee and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 Normally only get trhese around the coastal areas Phil as they are a migrant butterfly. They do come in land but very rarely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Derbyshire Dave Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Wow, well done Mick. Never been there. I'm going to have to give it a go! I didn't even relalise you got them over here. Is that just this year because of the warmth, or is it a regular thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 You do get them here Dave but they are pretty rare. You see them more often along the coast as they are migrants. Apparently three males and one female has been spotted here and Pete Clarke one of the owners thinks they might have laid eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
