For those that don't monitor the UKB homepage, please note:

"As we run up to the start of the Large Blue season, visitors should take a look at the Large Blue Blog which provides regular updates of activities, sightings and other information from Collard Hill in Somerset, the only open access site. Over 30,000 eggs were laid at Collard Hill last year and a good emergence is expected. Also note the excellent article by Dave Simcox which provides some background on the introduction. Finally, the Large Blue hotline is back on 07824 820193 which also provides regular updates.".

Links on the home page. I hope you're monitoring the Twitter feed too, where first sightings (and other bits and bobs) are being reported.

Cheers,

- Pete

Thanks for the link, Pete. I'd like to take a trip out to see them soon (I'm quite surprised they haven't emerged yet).

The latest discussion on this Blog is around the effect of last year's weather on the Large Blue population at Collard Hill (and elsewhere in Somerset). Worth a read.
