This week saw the completion of our second year of Butteryfly Transects which is part of the Merbach Commons Project. Butterfly Monitoring was carried out weekly through the summer, beginning April 1, ending September 29, 2008.
The length of this year's transect route was extended to include newly cleared trails on the western boundary of the Merbach Common, where food and shelter provided a welcome habitat for the Speckled Wood, Gatekeeper and Meadow Brown to name just three butterflies.
When complete, a summary of the 2008 results will be posted on the Bredwardine & Brobury website. A picture says a thousand words. This Comma was gorgeous!
