One of the reasons for this event was to record and hopefully photograph at least three of the less common butterflies: Small Pearl Bordered Fritillary, Green Hairstreak and Marsh Fritillary, re-found last year. (There are old records).

But with this late, late season and little sign of any warmth, will we be lucky? And as it's Brian's month, this was to be a day out on part of the moor he loved so much. Hopefully Janet will be able join us.

We've read of and attended 'Bioblitz' events in the past and this year, after a trial last year, the idea of running a Garden Bioblitz has gone national.

Gardens are very important resources for wildlife, even in the countryside where garden flowers can provide extra nectar sources out of season.

For those who missed the visit last year, this is another chance to see the colony of Heath Fritillary butterflies on the Greenscoombe reserve near Luckett in east Cornwall.

The event is run for Butterfly Conservation but Richard has kindly extended an invitation to Cornwall Wildlife Trust and the local groups.
