Re: Chequered Sk and Ballachulish Quarry

Re: Chequered Sk and Ballachulish Quarry
if I'm reading the article in http://butterfly-conservation.org/files/spring-e-news-2015.pdf right then it has been found in NN0860, NN0759 & NN1158 which are not far away at all. However, looking at the immediate area of the quarry it's mostly quite steep north facing slopes. The 2 squares to t...

Re: ID For Moth Please Goldie M
was in Silverdale area myself over the long weekend - I think that the group that I was with saw ~4 species of Pyrausta. Very pretty & apparently very common in that area.
