This site stands out with a massive increase in numbers near 40% and over 60% up on last year. we see some huge increases in our common grassland species particularly Meadow Borwn and Ringlet. Skiper numbers remain low but much better than last year. Large white like most locations is well down. Small white in certain locations has had an exceptional good year but is very patchy . orange tip and Brimstone were down unlike other sites where both were somewhat up . Holly blue boused back after and absence of 2 years very similar to other locationsPeacock was half and numbers in teh summer were very poor indeed. Small Tortoishell numbers were extremely good early on but only two were seen after teh end of june while Peacock none were seen after mid may . Comma although absent from emergance after hibernation had a very good summer generation but then disapeared, this pattern among the vanessids was repeated on many sites indicating heat stress and poor nettles. Speckled wood was 3 times last year and this matchs teh county trend as did teh rest of the browns gatekeeper boomed nearly doubling.
