Wurzel - Bill (Willrow) visited two days prior to me and saw 30-odd so I suspect they've been out since the last days of April.Wurzel wrote:Have they been out long at that site becasue I've noticed that Bentley Wood is often a week or two behind Rewell (which usually seems to be the first) and a week to 5 days behind the South Western colonies?
Bob, this site is vast though much of it is private so most people won't get the chance to do it justice. That said, I believe that in about 10 days time anyone spending a couple of hours on Old Castle Down (the public area) will rack up 40+ SPBFs easily. If every inch of the site were visited, then I'd expect at least 100 and possibly as many as 200. This species really is abundant here.badgerbob wrote:Hey David. That is a very impressive count for SPBF. Are they often that numerous at that site or does it look like being a better year than normal for them? Over here the only site is down to single figure counts (if we are lucky) and they generally emerge a week or so later than the West, but you never know, it could bode well for us over here!!
