Wrecclesham and it's Glanvilles.

Wrecclesham, Farnham, Surrey.

As of Tuesday 4th June, no Glanville Fritillaries, appear to be out. Whilst most species are late after a cold spring, I am hoping that the disturbance at the site hasn't adversely affected the emergence of Surrey's little gem.

I made a thorough search on Tuesday, but no sightings. Common Blues and Green Hairstreaks were plentiful.

Perhaps some were seen today, Wednesday 5th June.

Despite the destruction - digging and bulldozing - (it is a working area of course) - plenty of ideal habitat remains.

Any day now, here's hoping.

Any word from Sand Point and the Glanvilles there? Combining a trip to there and Collard Hill might work well this year.

Great minds think alike, Dave.

I fancy Glanvilles will be out by this weekend at Sand Point but when will Large Blues emerge? I reckon this could be one for midsummer weekend!

If there is any chance of any sun tomorrow, I might just give Wrecclesham another go.
