The Open Day on Sunday 25th July was a great success with good weather and a good number of people attending. Over Saturday night, Toby Ludlow and his colleagues had collected over 100 macro and a similar number of micro moths - many of them potted and labelled and on display in the Education Centre.

The two butterfly walks at 11.00 and 14.00 enabled those participating to see a wide variety of local butterflies. 23 species were recorded (many netted and potted for close inspection ) including :

White-letter Hairstreak
Purple Hairstreak
White Admiral
Red Admiral
Small Copper
Marbled White
Brimstone
and the 3 Skippers - Large, Small and Essex
plus Hummingbird Hawkmoth and Silver Y moth.

Many thanks to -
Peter Cawdell, Branch Chairman and his Committee for organising the event
Our walk leaders /netters......Peter C., Derek Fox and Dave Wright
John Davison for dispensing such good value small eats, soft drinks, tea, coffee, etc.

All in all a great day out. :D :D

Regards,

Freddy
