Dun Coillich Community Woodland is an excellent place to see one of our rarest butterflies, the Pearl-bordered Fritillary. During this event we will visit some parts of the Dun Coillich site where this species can be found. Attendees will find out how to identify the species and how to take part in searches for Pearl-bordered Fritillary in the Highland Perthshire area.
After we see the Fritillary, we will search for moths called 'clearwing moths' which can be attracted to a pheromone lure. The Large Red-Belted Clearwing is hopefully going to be at Dun Coillich, but we'll try our best to find it and the Welsh Clearwing moth on the day!
Even if you can only stay for part of the day to look for the butterfly you are still welcome to attend.
Date and time: Monday 20th May, 10am - 2pm.
Location: Dun Coillich Community Woodland, near Aberfeldy (full details will be sent to everyone who registers)
