There will be autumn, winter & early spring
brown hairstreak egg surveys in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion &
Pembrokeshire. These are mainly weekdays, chosen a few days in advance for
weather, during period between mid November & early April. If you are
interested please register in advance with Richard Smith (01446 793229 (or
projects@southwales-butterflies.org.uk

We will be focussing this autumn/winter on previously un-surveyed sites in
localities with either gaps in records and surveys or expanding on four year’s
community project around Llangeler in the Teifi Valley -

We will also carry out egg counts at a dozen or so regularly monitored sites across Carmarthenshire, plus a couple in Ceredigion.
We have volunteer workdays at several sites in Carmarthenshire, which will be a combination of egg searches and helping with coppicing of
older blackthorn (see also winter weekends below).
