Bog at Ballyfatherly Co Down
Posted: Sat Jun 28, 2008 4:36 pm
I am writing a report on this and will post it soon. This was an excellent trip I made to this bog. This bog was only a few acres in size, but packed with wildlife. People wanted to put a sewage punping power station on it
hope that ever happens. I Saw:
50+ small heaths (never seen so many before, I practically had 10 flying around my head at one point)
10+ common blues
4+ Dark Green Fritillaries (very fast, not staying still long)
60+ Latticed and Common Heath Moth
10+ Clouded Border (normal form) moths
4+ 6 Spot Burnet moths
20+ Meadow Browns
5+ Small Whites
10+ Ringlets
15+ Speckled Wood
few large white
some various unidentified moths
2+ Small Tortoiseshell
hundreds of grasshoppers and common frogs
Also a large unidentified fast flying moth
Will post a report that includes pics soon. Good day and never been here before.
