LLEYN PENINSULA NORTH WALES

[Shirley Roulston]

Hello,

Having studied the sighting page there doesn't seem to be anyone reporting from the Lleyn. If I start to show that we do indeed have a nice selection of Butterflies maybe others will follow. In the last few week I've noticed a few Wall Browns and there seems to be lots of Speckled Woods about. The Common Blue's love the cliff path where the wild flower are in full bloom. My garden produced Orange Tips in the Spring but they have disappeared and of course the Holly Blue's had increased in numbers from last year. I know its just a Large White but it takes a nice photo.

Thanks Shirley - please keep us updated! Not many of us manage to get to your part of the world!

You may be interested to know that both Silver-studded Blue and Grayling are on the wing at the Great Orme - both of which are subspecies only found here!

Cheers,

- Pete

Hi Shirley,
It's always nice to here from Wales...but with a surname like Jenkins I may be a little biased
