Swallowtails 2008 - Any Chance left this brood ?
Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2008 9:29 pm
I live in the north west and very keen to see my first swallowtail. I was all set to go last weekend and aborted and then was to be this weekend (21 /22nd) but again looks to be another washout.
I understand peak time is mid June to first week in July then as smaller second brood in late Aug. Does anyone have any local knowledge that could help me re the position on the ground I understand where the sites are from my reading but don't want to risk expense of hotel /petrol and wasted weekend away if its a non starter.
Assuming the end of June is sunny is that still worth it or perhaps the August brood as a last resort?
Thanks
Peter
