Wyre Forest

[Lawts]

Hi does anyone have any good sites for Silver-washed Fritillary in the Wyre?

Thanks in anticipation.

[Neil Freeman]

I went to the Wyre Forest at the end of April. I parked at the bottom of Dry Mill Lane at SO773764 and followed the path along Dowles Brooke. This area was good for SPBF and a apparently PBF a few weeks earlier.
The booklet '30 Butterfly Walks in the West Midlands' also gives this route for SWF.

Living in the Midlands myself, I have been to Oversley Wood near Alcester and Snitterfield Bushes near Stratford this weekend and seen good numbers of SWF at both locations.

Hope this helps,

Neil.
