Just to remind everyone about the Butterfly Conservation work parties that are coming up in the next few weeks. There is a meeting at Collard Hill on Saturday January 30th, to improve the habitat of the Large Blue butterfly. Of perhaps more interest to the mothing fraternity is the work party at Shapwick on Sunday February 7th which will be to clear new areas and improve habitat for the Argent and Sable moth. This species is continuing to breed successfully at Shapwick despite being in decline at other English sites. It would be great to see a few moth group members turning up to this work party. Please contact Bernadette Noake if you are attending this event. 01929 406004
