About this Event
Take a walk around Gorcott Hill with Mike Slater from Butterfly Conservation Warwickshire, recording and learning about all the different butterfly species we see.
Gorcott Hill is already well recorded for butterflies and is known to have a breeding population of the Silver-washed Fritillary, a woodland specialist, as well as many common grassland species like the marbled white. There is also the potential to find new species in the wood, such as the primarily arboreal Purple Emperor. Make sure to bring a pair of binoculars if you have them.
This survey is part of the fourth annual Heart of England Forest Bioblitz where we will be creating a snapshot of the variety of species found in a specific area of the Forest during a 24 hour period. No previous BioBlitz experience or species knowledge is required to get involved.
Registration for this event is free however we would appreciate it if you would be willing to make a donation to help us to grow the forest and work on creating and maintaining a mosaic of wildlife habitats. This wildlife surveying event is not suitable for dogs to attend.
