    Swallowtails Does anyone have any further information following the weekend in terms of sightings? Also what's the best way of working How Hill/Strumpshaw - are there any particular areas where the chances of a sighting improve? Thanks.

    Thought that might be the case, but I bumped into someone lasdt year when I was trying who told me about another site nearby that had plenty - if there are any other sites in North Norfolk, I'd appreciate a PM. Am trying a site in Rutland, but can easily nip across. Thanks.

    Interestingly, I saw Silver-washed at Glapthorn, Northants this year. They were discovered at the site last year, and their origin wasn't clear. Despite them being seen this year, Glapthorn isn't supposed to have the plants required by the species for egg-laying. Work that one out.

    Norfolk Butterflies and Moths

    I took the boardwalk from the first car park and near the Firs it drops down to an old world war II bunker and a thin path/grass strip. After about 50 yards, there is a narrow path leading to where there is an info. board (I think from memory). I saw the GH along this strip - there is a hedge...
