Organisers of the <strong>Butterfly</strong> ID<br />
workshop and attendees at<br />
Hampton Bishop Village Hall<br />
<strong>Butterfly</strong> ID<br />
workshop a hit<br />
in Herefordshire<br />
West Midlands branch<br />
committee members<br />
Robin Hemming and<br />
Mike Williams were supported<br />
by other branch members and<br />
Kate Wollen, of the Forestry<br />
Commission, when they ran a<br />
butterfly identification workshop<br />
at Hampton Bishop Village<br />
Hall, near Hereford, on 22 May.<br />
<strong>The</strong> course attracted a mix of<br />
members and non-members of<br />
<strong>Butterfly</strong> <strong>Conservation</strong> and was<br />
designed to encourage them to<br />
record butterfly and moth<br />
species across the county.<br />
Robin said: “<strong>The</strong>re was great<br />
enthusiasm among those who<br />
attended and their new-found<br />
skills were quickly put to the test<br />
as we encountered lots of Wood<br />
White and a few Pearlbordered<br />
Fritillary in nearby<br />
Haugh Wood. But the highlight<br />
for many was a single Brown<br />
Argus which has not been<br />
recorded at the site for many,<br />
many years.”<br />
