Hi Mark

Priddy Mineries is the main site.

We saw a few in mid-June last year (a bit late in their season I would have thought) at around ST545509 - following the path south-west from the car park. The fritillaries were flying to the right of the path. Green Hairstreak, Dingy Skipper and day-flying moths (burnets and Chimney Sweeper) were about as well.

Hi Mark

For info, we saw two Dark Green Fritillaries at the Mineries, at about ST 546 507, 24/07/2004. The wood by the car park had lots of Ringlets.
