Welcome to the new look website! The posting of recent sightings may have been lacking recently but behind the scenes things couldn’t have been busier.
While constructing the new look site capable of handling larger galleries, more of your sightings, wildlife travel reports and butterfly, moth and caterpillar species life-cycle pages your enquiries have continued to arrive.
Thank you all – we do appreciate them.

- And so many more.
