11 degrees, cloudy and some rain.
My third garden record of Butterbur was a good record, there aren't too many dots on the atlas for it, but a second for Platyptilia gonodactyla and a first showing for Aspilapteryx tringipennella was even better.

Hopeful of adding Butterbur to the VC55 list this year (at least a modern reliable record!)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck Mark, they aren't as sedentary as they would have you believe...the nearest butterbur plants to me are half a mile away.
