Trev’s Wood White Count on 25th May showing that numbers are still rising to 32
Wednesday 27th May 2019
Weather poor but several Wood Whites still active. Most of the Bugle had gone over so the preferred nectar plant was Bush Vetch and Ragged Robin. A red dot female and an original male were displaying but the female was unresponsive. I guess that the female was already mated. (Females are only mated once).
