This site still holds one of Cornwall’s few remaining colonies of the nationally threatened Pearl-Bordered Fritillary butterfly which can be seen over a wide area of well managed bracken covered hillside. Walking boots are essential as the site slopes quite steeply and can be quite uneven in places. Orange Tip & Brimstone should also still be on the wing. Bring packed lunch & drink.
Leader – Robbie Robinson. Meet at SX089779 (postcode: PL30 4PQ), in lay-by at Gam Bridge.

Pearl-Bordered Fritillaries were discovered at De-Lank/Pendrift Downs in May, 1998 by 3 enthusiasts and more than 20 years later the butterfly can still be found here during bright & sunny weather every May. Dave Conway, who lives locally & has been exploring this area since the early 1970’s, will lead us around different parts of the sites in the hope of seeing the freshly emerged adult butterflies of this rare & beautiful fritillary. Orange Tips, Brimstones, Speckled Woods, Green Hairstreaks & Small-pearl bordered fritillaries as well as Emperor Moths will also be on the wing here now. We hope to have an Emperor Moth pheromone lure with us to attract Emperor Moths during the visit. Walking boots, a packed lunch and drink are required.

During the 1970’s & 80’s the Green Hairstreak Small Pearl-Bordered Fritillary could be seen flying in good numbers over the hillsides between Chapel Porth & St Agnes and in recent years many enthusiasts have revisited this locality to find both species still faring well over the wide ranging coastal landscape here. We hope to find both species here today in good numbers given favourable weather. Green Hairstreaks are also found in excellent numbers behind the beach car park down at Chapel Porth and we intend to walk down to that locality. Meet at Wheal Coates National Trust car park as parking is too restricted down at the beach at Chapel Porth. Walking boots, drink & sun cream essential.

After it’s re-introduction to parts of the woodlands in the summer of 2006, it has become re-established and re-colonised it’s former habitat which has been much improved by clearance and regular habitat management work.

An excellent discovery by Dave Conway some years ago of a healthy colony of Marsh Fritillaries in a traditional moorland habitat was confirmed to still exist in 2015 by Rob Nicholls & again in 2018. A guided tour of this virtually unknown & isolated locality should prove rewarding & challenging. Target species Marsh fritillary.

We intend to search the open rides of these woodlands to see what other species of butterflies & moths may inhabit this woodland complex. There used to be Elms in these woods during the 1970’s & if we can locate any Elms, it may be worth checking in the hope of locating White-letter Hairstreak which were recorded here during the 1960’s & 1970’s.

Sunday 26th July – 11:00am - Rosenannon Downs, near St. Wenn, Bodmin.

In recent times the exciting discovery of an inland colony of Graylings on Rosenannon Downs by a member of our group “Cornwall Butterfly & Moth Society” has bucked the national trend of mass extinction of inland populations of this species that now exists very much as a coastal only species in Britain. There may also be Dark Green Fritillaries flying over these downs also. Please wear good walking boots and bring plenty to drink.

Walking boots are essential as the site slopes quite steeply and can be quite uneven in place as well as long trousers due to tall bracken on the slopes.

This is an excellent location for our fieldtrips and the main objective of this trip will be to check if Graylings are still present on this inland site, as this should be peak emergence time. There may be the odd Marbled White at the end of their flight time, and plenty of other summer butterflies around, particularly on the Buddleia in the sheltered parts of the site. There may be the occasional Clouded Yellow to be seen. It is also a good location for grasshoppers, especially the Mottled Grasshopper found on the warmest parts of the site. This is the oldest working slate quarry in England and at almost 500 feet deep and 11/2 miles around, looking down into one of the largest man made holes in Europe is an impressive view.
