Hi there,
Just joined this forum as a result of searching the net trying to find good places to hunt for butterflies in the stunning area of the country I now live (South East Wales).
Spent last Sunday (first glorious day for a while) in Croes Robert Wood near Monmouth and waded through approx 1,000 butterflies (mostly Meadow & Hedge Browns) as well as numerous Commas nectaring on Hemp Agrimony, plenty of Speckled Woods and a solitary Brimstone.
Glad to see there's a forum for enthusiasts and I hope to be contributing regularly.
Regards,
David.

Hya Dave. I cant get near a comma. I've been tantalisingly close today, but they dont like me. Happy hunting.

Amazingly, I even saw one on my mother's buddleia in the Isle of Man (first time I've ever seen one over there).Zonda wrote:Hya Dave. I cant get near a comma. I've been tantalisingly close today, but they dont like me. Happy hunting.

There were at least two dozen visible along the long sunlit path I walked down last week and quite a lot looked beautifully fresh.
Only saw one Tortoiseshell though - where have they all gone? They used to be ten a penny when I was a kid living in the north west of England.
Re: Hello everybody
I saw a comma on West Bexington beach today, but there was a stream between it and myself. ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
