March Butterflies in Shoreham, Sussex
Posted: Thu Mar 27, 2008 10:13 am
Hello,
26 March 2008
My first Brimstone Butterfly of 2008 was seen in South Lancing garden feeding on Aubretia and a bit on Hyacinth. This was the second local record of this species for 2008.
Report by Ray Hamblett on the UK-Leps (Yahoo Group) & Lancing Nature Notes
Four Peacock Butterflies were seen in under an hour on the downs north of Shoreham, the first faded specimen at the top of the Pixie Path to Mill Hill, the second and third left the lower slopes of Mill Hill, and the fourth one was in the extreme north-west corner of Mill Hill Nature Reserve next to the Old Erringham pasture. All four were past the best condition, but they appeared mostly intact.

The first Comma Butterfly of the year emerged from hibernation to flutter around the Butterfly Copse next to the Waterworks Road, Old Shoreham. It was in pristine condition and was restless, rarely settling for more than 15 seconds, and after a few minutes it flew off rapidly westwards.

A Small White Butterfly was seen in Lancing. This was the first report of a Small White Butterfly on these Nature Notes pages for the month of February, nowmaking it six species seen locally in the second month of the year since the start of the new millennium.
