Cryptic Wood White
Posted: Mon May 26, 2014 9:28 pm
Can anyone please advise any sites for the Cryptic Wood White between Belfast and the Giants Causeway coast? Any help will be appreciated.
I can't really speak for other sites but I think the species thins out a bit as you go NE. The only site info I have is for Craigavon City Lake. I've stuck a pin in the map here: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit? ... 77bzudiaOg
The site is just off M1 J10. I know the pin is in the middle of a dual carriage way but actually the easiest way to work the site is park on the hard shoulder on the west side of Eastway and there are paths down the bank to the lake. I've actually seen the species from the car! If you walk south towards the railway, you'll find some open areas with lots of vetch.
