The weather was so good today that I took an hour or so out over lunch to complete my first Wider Countryside Butterfly Survey (http://www.ukbms.org/wcbs.htm) of the year. I am conducting the survey on the same 1km Grid Square (SP7402 - Emmington in Oxfordshire) I survey for the BTO Breeding Bird Survey and will attempt to do 6 WCBS visits between now and the end of August.
Butterflies seen and then recorded on the WCBS website:
• Large White (Pieris brassicae); 4
• Small White (Pieris rapae); 6
• Green-veined White (Pieris napi);5
• Orange-tip (Anthocharis cardamines); 5
• Small Copper (Lycaena phlaeas); 4
• Common Blue (Polyommatus icarus); a mating pair
• Peacock (Inachis io); 1
• Speckled Wood (Pararge aegeria); 3
