Re: 2023 - Large Tortoiseshell
@KneppWilding tweeted 18th Feb 2023: "males are now starting to emerge to set up their territories". It's a very big place, with only a relatively small area accessible to the public - they didn't mention whether they can be seen in the public areas.

Re: 2022 - Large Tortoiseshell
I'm not aware of any sightings this year thus far, let alone multiple "males". I notice that Knepp marketing hasn't responded to your question in that thread!

Re: 2022 - Large Tortoiseshell
yes, my immediate reaction was to jump in the car - but on reflection I decided it might be advisable to wait until a member of the public posts a photo...
