  • This valley was ravaged by the devastating flood that hit Boscastle in August 2004.
  • Early indications show that just upstream, in the Valency Valley, both the Pearl-bordered and Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary butterfly have benefited from the more open habitat created by the flood waters.
  • We would hope to see both species today during a guided walk by Phil Harris, who has surveyed this species for many years.
  • Other spring species should be seen also.
  • Leader Phil Harris.
  • Meet in the car park in Boscastle, OS map ref. SX 100 913.
