Pollard and Yates (1993, Monitoring Butterflies for Ecology and

divided into 10 sections. All butterflies, odonata and selected
day-moth species seen within 5m of the transect line are counted
and recorded. The aggregate count follows:

W. Tiger Swallowtail 1
Veined White 4

Ctenucha Walsinghami 2

Aeshna sp. 2
Blue-eyed Darner 5
Paddle-tailed Darner 5
Eight-spotted Skimmer 1

Notes: Numbers seem to be on the rise after three weeks of very
low counts. Two CABBAGE WHITES were seen off transect.
