  • Butterfly Conservation Upper Thames Branch Silver-Washed Fritillary
    Butterfly Conservation Upper Thames Branch Silver-washed Fritillary Report 2006-7 Mick Campbell Many thanks to everyone who sent in sightings of Silver-washed Fritillary, in particular Chris Brown who monitored Crowsley Park Wood on a daily basis throughout the season, capturing the timing of different events, such as pairing and roosting habits of this beautiful butterfly. From the left: Silver-washed Fritillary male on bramble showing the distinctive black streaks of scent-scales near the middle of the forewing; female on buddleia; and the valezina form of the female (photos © Peter Hall, David Redhead & Tony Croft respectively) The Silver-washed Fritillary is a strong, fast flying woodland species, preferring mixed woodland with an open canopy, sunny glades and rides, with bramble as the favoured nectar source. They lay their eggs on oaks and rough-barked conifers where their foodplant of violet is present nearby. Interestingly, a report was also received from Jan Haseler in 2007 of a female appearing to oviposit on alder. Silver-washed Fritillary has been expanding its range in recent years and in the hot summer of 2006 it was particularly successful, with ‘wanderers’ turning up in 12 gardens, compared with 3 sightings in gardens during the 2007 season. First sighting Last sighting Number seen 2006 22-Jun-06 24-Aug-06 389 2007 17-Jun-07 07-Sept-07 306 As this species has a very long flight period, the peak emergence is difficult to pinpoint, but the maximum numbers are counted from about 11th July through to 10th August, with the first females being noted 2-3 weeks after the first male is sighted.

  • Lowland Calcareous Grassland Habitat Action Plan
    Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes Biodiversity Action Plan Lowland Calcareous Grassland Habitat Action Plan Lowland Calcareous Grassland Key associated species Chalk Carpet Moth Chalkhill Blue Chiltern Gentian Duke of Burgundy Early Gentian Glow Worm Green Hairstreak Hornet Robber Fly Horseshoe Vetch Juniper Linnet Meadow Clary Pasque Flower Roman Snail Silver-spotted Skipper Snail Abida secale Stone Curlew Striped Lychnis Moth Yellow Meadow Ant This habitat includes all semi-improved grassland and unimproved grassland occurring on shallow lime-rich soils normally underlain by chalk or limestone rocks. Calcareous grassland is associated with distinct topographic features such as escarpments or dry valley slopes and ancient earth works. Lowland calcareous grassland supports a very rich flora with many nationally rare and scarce species together with a diverse invertebrate fauna such as Chalkhill Blue and Duke of Burgundy butterflies. Scrub, such as Juniper and Box, is associated with calcareous grassland and contributes to local biodiversity. 1 Current status in the UK Biological status 1.1 Calcareous grassland is a rich grassland type in terms of the diversity of plant and invertebrate species supported. Many species are confined to calcareous grassland in the UK, including those that are on the northern edge of their European range. 1.2 Lowland calcareous grasslands are defined by the UK Biodiversity Group as the first nine communities in the National Vegetation Classification CG grouping. These communities are largely restricted to the warmer and drier climate of southern and eastern areas of the UK. 1.3 The amount of calcareous grassland has undergone a significant decline over the last 50 years. Although there are no detailed figures available for the UK as a whole, local statistics demonstrate the overall decline eg 50% lost in Dorset between the mid-1950s and the early 1990s, 25% lost in Sussex between 1966 and 1980.

  • Butterfly Conservation Event Can Be Seen by Clicking Here
    Upper Thames Branch Moth Sightings Archive - January to June 2007 On Friday 29th June Dave Wilton carried out his transect in Finemere Wood and in the evening ran his overnight moth trap in his Westcott garden: "Moths seen in Finemere Wood were Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet (3), Clouded Border (2), Marbled White Spot (1) and Silver Y (1). My garden Robinson trap produced my first reasonable catch for a week or two, with more than 400 moths from about 80 species ending up in the trap. Best of the bunch were Lappet and Scarce Silver-lines, with Scarce Footman, Clay, Smoky Wainscot, Olive, Pleuroptya ruralis/Mother of Pearl and Phycitodes binaevella also new for my garden year list. The following evening a Blackneck came to our kitchen window light." Phycitodes binaevella Scarce Silver-lines Blackneck Photo © Dave Wilton Photo © Dave Wilton Photo © Dave Wilton ~ Thursday 28th June 2007 ~ Dave Wilton sent this moth report on 27th June: "On 26th June I was foolish enough to run my actinic trap at Westcott even though the temperature fell to 8 degrees Celsius overnight. The result was a pitiful catch of 64 moths from 17 species. Compare that to the same day last year when I got 800 moths in the Robinson! The poor weather of the past few days seems to have had a drastic effect on catches all across the country although last night did produce one new species for me, the Short-cloaked Moth. Looking on the bright side, thanks to Peter Hall and his microscope I do now have a few additions to the UTB list from back in April: Dichrorampha acuminatana, Elachista canapennella, Dipleurina lacustrata, Eudonia truncicolella and Parornix anglicella were all trapped in my garden, Rhopobota stagnana (B&F 1161, formerly Griselda stagnana) was found in the disused railway cutting west of Westcott Airfield and Pammene argyrana was caught in Rushbeds Wood." Also, while doing a butterfly transect in Finemere Wood on 20th June, Dave kicked up a Crambus perlella from the grass.
