  • The course of this old railway line harbours one of only two surviving colonies in Cornwall.
  • We will be looking for egg laying female Grizzled Skippers with a note to recording their egg laying sites.
  • We may also try a nearby area of Goss Moor to see if there maybe another population extant of this species where there is a recent reliable record.
  • Dingy skippers should also be seen!
  • Meet at OS map ref. SW 931 599 on the lay-by along the OLD A30.
