UK butterfly species hunting side quest: Time is running out! 0 ▲ Something Fishy Going On 1 hour ago · Life · hide · 0 comments Since deciding to try and hunt down all of the butterfly species of the UK, I've visited the north of England a couple of times and also spent an afternoon wandering around Grafton Wood on my way back from fishing with Ben down in Pembrokeshire. In the process, I've manged to see another seven species of butterfly and photographed six of them. My first brown hairstreak didn't want to be photographed sadly, so I'll need to try again at some point in the future. Here are the half dozen that were more cooperative!..Top row: Brimstone (ENG) . Brown Argus (ENG). Clouded Yellow (WAL).Bottom Row: Gatekeeper (ENG). Silver-washed Fritillary (ENG). Wood White (ENG). So, I've made a pretty good start to this new extended side quest, and I still have a few targets to track down over the remainder of the summer that emerge in August and September. I'll have to venture all the way to the south coast of England, and also to Northern Ireland if I'm to get them all, and there's no way I'll see them it… No comments yet.
