A minor point, but Peacock seems to be missing from the species 'Flying This Week'.

Re: Flying This Week?
Hi Paul,
All of the flight times are stored in a database, and all other time-related information generated from that. This includes the phenology charts on the species pages, the flight time charts and, you've guessed it, the "Flying this Week" listing. If this were a normal year, then you'd be hard-pressed to find a Peacock right now (although I saw one yesterday myself!).
I hope that clears things up. Perhaps I should add a "health warning" to anything showing flight times!
Cheers,
- Pete

Re: Flying This Week?
Pete,
I also noted that Red Admirals should be here! What has happened to them? Did they know something we didn't when they all decided to leave before the winter? Perhaps butterfly movements would be more accurate than Long range weather forecasting.If they are able to predict such things,how do they do it?

Re: Flying This Week?
I've seen a couple, including an ovipositing female, so they are here. As we know, their numbers fluctuate year on year since their presence is primarily down to migrants entering our shores, and on this front, the weather certainly hasn't helped I suspect, with winds coming from everywhere except the south!

Re: Flying This Week?
Sorry, Pete. I'd forgotten how early in the year they normally disappear and that it's almost June.Pete Eeles wrote: If this were a normal year, then you'd be hard-pressed to find a Peacock right now (although I saw one yesterday myself!).

Re: Flying This Week?
Now where would I find this " Flying This Week" list so that I can challenge any potential illegal immigrant for its passport? Round here it's a coach load of Orange Tips.

Re: Flying This Week?
It's below the Species List, at the bottom left of the site's home page. You'll probably have to scroll right down to find it.

Thanks, it never occurred to me that the home page was longer than my screen.Pawpawsaurus wrote:It's below the Species List, at the bottom left of the site's home page. You'll probably have to scroll right down to find it.
