Eyarth Rocks

[Mark Spedding]

Hi all,

I'm thinking about visiting Eyarth Rocks in North Wales next weekend (weather permitting, of course!) specifically to look for Pearl-bordered Frit, Dingy and Grizzled Skippers.
I've never been to this reserve before, I was wondering if anyone has could they give me a few pointers as to where to look for the aforementioned species.

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark - a late response I know. All I can suggest is that, given the lack of a response here, you contact the relevant BC branch.

Cheers,

- Pete

For anyone interested I visited last Saturday, and after it had stopped raining managed to locate one PBF, which was perched.
The reserve warden had had 40 odd earkier in the week in somewhat better weather, with this years maximum count on the reserve 98, a number which has been steadily rising over the past few years.
We also saw one of the Butterfly Orchids which ws nice.

Later we visied a brownfield site in Wrexham and saw both Dingy and Grizzled Skippers.
