Bishop Middleham Quarry

Post by Lawts »

Does anyone know if the Brown Argus has reached this site yet, (last year), or are they still just Northern Brown Argus?
Thanks.

I photographed this one at Bishop Middleham in August 2020. Had I seen it almost anywhere else I'd have said 2nd brood Brown Argus without hesitation. I spoke to the County Recorder at the time who said they've had a number of records from the site which are strong candidates for BA rather than NBA.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll play safe this year and make the trip to St. Abbs.
