@DeeLau1 @BC_Lancs Thanks for the mention @DeeLau1. Please note these results are preliminary and due to the obvious correlation between bracken and bracken litter, needs some further analysis before publication.
@MikeSlater5 @BC_Lancs @DeeLau1 The research is not yet published, but happy to send a copy of the poster. Will be distributing e-copies to my contacts this week so will add you to the list. Thanks for the interest 😀.
#DarkGreenFritillary seen attempting oviposition in several locations today. One egg was found! #lepidoptera #butterflyresearch #cumbriabutterflies
@sbsaville You’re welcome Simon. Good luck for the rest of your journey!
Another great day introducing the research to @sbsaville on his #BikeForButterflies challenge and the @savebutterflies team from the #GreenRecovery fo #MorecambeBay woodlands project. Glad to have been able to show you a #HighBrownFritillary! (Research activity under NE licence)
An interesting read about how Pearl-bordered fritillaries are thriving thanks to cattle near Dumfries 🦋 🐄 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
A soggy morning turned into a great afternoon. Plenty of #highbrownfritillary and my first oviposition sightings of both high brown and dark green! I even found the dark green egg!
A fantastic day on site today. First female #highbrownfritillary of the season along with a mating pairs of both HBF & DGF observed. I was starting to worry about numbers this season, it appears they’re just taking their time. #cumbriabutterflies @BC_Cumbria @savebutterflies
A lovely treat on today’s high brown searches with this wood tiger #moth. #mothsMatter @BC_Cumbria #lepidoptera
🦋GOOD NEWS FOR BUTTERFLIES🦋 A new colony of rare Duke of Burgundy butterflies has been discovered... and it might just be the largest of its kind in the UK! Read the full article below 👇 butrfli.es/3iJgAUW
The answer is not a lot. What was forecast to be a bright day turned to mizzle. Although another first for the field season...getting soaked whilst walking through wet Bracken.
Yesterday saw no high browns but bought the first 3 confirmed #darkgreenfritillary sightings of the season. 1 already had wing damage. What will today bring?
#highbrownfritillary male freshly emerged in #cumbria today. Same date as last year, even with the cooler spring 🧐 #butterfly #lepidoptera #cumbriabutterflies #butterflyresearch @savebutterflies @BC_Cumbria @BC_Lancs @mwain2
Lots of #smallpearlborderedfritillary today, and 2 unidentified large frits (1 possible #highbrownfritillary), they’re on the way! #butterfly #lepidoptera #cumbriabutterflies instagram.com/p/CQBtgHNArap/…
A lot of firsts for the season for me today including this male large skipper. #butterfly #lepidoptera #cumbriabutterflies instagram.com/p/CQBWqqFg69E/…
On our #MorecambeBay Blossom and Butterfly walk today we saw neither! Too early and too cold:( But we did see intrepid student Tash from @edgehill uni surveying #HighBrown #Fritillary habitat, here counting 23 violets in this m quadratic. Great work! Roll on summer:-)
The first #HighBrownFritillary has been seen at the Heddon Valley today, and their emergence will peak over the next 2-3 weeks. If you're spotting other butterflies the dark green fritillaries and small pearl-bordered fritillaries are also out as well.
@KirstyGodsman @BiologyEHU It's been great having you out in the field with me @KirstyGodsman Thanks for all the great photos!
