Strumpshaws good, wet meadows best.
But the cottage at NR339070 gets em in the garden, and they dont mind you going in after them.

Strumpshaw RSPB. Last year they were flying from early/mid May - peak is around end May/Start June. Didn't visit to see second brood, tho' there usually is one July/August....
Saw plenty - tho' difficult to photograph - and yes, the guy in the cottage is welcoming and very knowledgeable about Swallowtails and he doesn't mind a bit! (My GVW's in "More than one" comp from his garden!)
In fact he is worried that continental immigrants may take-over in time and is anxious for future of ssp
britannicus.
In reserve, boardwalk is also good area for seeing them fly!
How Hill is also another - didn't get round to visiting tho'...
