Lots of Autumn butterflies
September 17, 2020
Update from the Banks Meadow Reserve So many butterflies ! The most i have ever seen. This is because of our pro-nettle management for the catterpillars and also planting summer and autumn-long nectar plants for the adult butterflies. These are Small Tortoiseshell, the Large Tortoiseshell are exstinct now. We also see Comma and Redadmiral in large numbers
