Small Copper 2024 No 7, today in the Cotswolds. By orders of magnitude the poorest year I've known for this 'common' butt. Apparently, numbers have held up much better on acidic soils, where it breeds on Sheep Sorrel - only I've stayed neutral & calcareous.

☔️ September 2024 has been the wettest September on record for some counties, according to provisional Met Office statistics. Get the details in the Press Release below, or read this short thread 👇🧵

@davidgriffith17 Government funding for HE has been almost nonexistent in the past 14 years. Brexit & changes in visas, we've seen a v big drop in overseas students - that can make up 1/3 of a universities income. Tuition fees frozen for years, despite inflation.

The most intelligent working class people will not be able to afford higher education any more - this is class war #r4today

Many native plants growing in Britain today have coevolved over millions of yrs w/ a myriad of a diverse insects & all are intimately involved in each other's survival. Why then do we not mention this every time we speak of these plants & insects except as a sort of btw?

@Freedomofdoubt @RobWilsonMNCN @martinswarren @savebutterflies @HantsIoWBC @NaturalEngland @jon_bennie Thanks Claire, that's really quite promising. I had been concerned the really wet winters & springs had resulted in increased sward hight& habitat being less suitable. Reduced winter grazing together with warm wet for the last 2 years where I monitor = very numbers of SsSK.

@RobWilsonMNCN @martinswarren @savebutterflies @HantsIoWBC @NaturalEngland @CTRH @jon_bennie Saw far more individuals this season than the last one. It was noticeably locally common on the south-south-west facing hill. Such a joy to see!

39th year monitoring Silver-spotted Skipper (Hesperia comma) eggs at Beacon Hill in Hampshire, southern England. Is this the longest running butterfly egg count?? Veg v tall this wet year but a few eggs about. 2 in this pic! @savebutterflies @HantsIoWBC @NaturalEngland
