Large Heath on Skye

Post by OwenE »

I found a skye wildlife webpage that says Large Heath is fairly common in the south of Skye. I'm staying there next month (although I fear too early for scottish large heath) but does anyone have any experience of seeing it there?

Hi, I have very limited experience of scotica but you might get lucky depending on what the season is like up there. I found a few worn ones at Glen Loy on the 26 June back in 2018 so they were presumably emerging near the beginning of the month. No idea whether the flight times match compared to Skye but I wouldn't write them off based on that. I'm sure others will be able to give more concrete advice.
