Duke of Burgandy Site in North Yorkshire
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 7:19 pm
Hi everyone this is my first post here, probably the first of many. I'm planning on travelling a bit more this year, and I'm hoping to see a few more butterfly species that I've not seen before.
Earlier this year I met someone who told me about a site for Duke of Burgandy in North Yorkshire. I know the name and the rough area of the site, but I would like to more about where to look, best time of year etc., as well as any other species that the site is good for.
However, I was also told that the site was generally not publicised to prevent too much disturbance, apparently there was a possibility that someone was taking the butterflies and releasing them at Ellerburn Bank a few years ago.
So, if anyone knows which site I mean, I would love to know more about exactly where I should go and look, as well as the usual flight times this far north. Might be best to pm me if you agree that the information is sensitive. On the other hand, if you think that this level of secrecy is unnecessary, please let me know. Just trying to be safer than sorry.
