Minsmere RSPB - Suffolk. Silver Studded Blue?
Posted: Sat Jul 05, 2008 9:03 pm
Wonder if anyone can shed any light on this?...
Went to Minsmere on Friday, knowing from the RSPB literature they use to advertise the reserve that they tell you to look out for Silver Studded Blue and having seen, on some forum or BC website, the previous week a group had been there looking for SSB , I hoped to find some.
When I arrived I was told that they were in an area where the public are excluded - but they wouldn't give me a reason or location!
I wonder what made the RSPB so twitchy about butterflies
So I was directed to Westleton Heath - where myself and JackHarr have already searched this year - so far unsuccessfully! We have excluded the areas of Westleton Heath to the north of the Westleton - Dunwich road. I was directed to the other (South) side and searched the eastern area of that heathland. So that leaves the quarter nearest Westleton Village and areas or pockets within the woods and walks! (Any local knowledge and 6fig OS refs accepted
