JMNR butterfly transect – 4th October 2016

Rather than end the recording season after the normal 26 weeks, the continuing good weather prompted Nikki Mahadevan to carry on into week 27. Six Comma and one Speckled Wood were noted inside the transect area, with another four Comma and two Speckled Wood outside. A Snout moth was also seen.
