- Recorded 19.05.2016 Warton Crag Lancs.
This 'Small Pearl' posted yesterday on BC Lancashire sightings page. Small and Pearl are regularly on site - Warton Crag.
Checked everywhere but eyestrain now! No underwing photo unfortunately which would have been a doddle. Eagles today!! (FA Cup)
ID help greatly appreciated to verify thie first 2016 record.

Hi Tom - this is a Small Pearl-bordered. Take a look at the Similar Species section here:

- PBF on left, SPBF on right
Cheers,

I was up at Warton Craig on the 17th Tom and never saw a thing
Where about's did you see the SPBF was it on top of the Craig or lower Slopes
