Dear All,

Some of you may have seen the email on the UK-Leps site re. the White-letter
Hairstreak survey. See web site:

http://www.w-album.hertsmiddx-butterflies.org.uk/


My ERICA database is down at the moment so I can't give any details of any
Cornish White-letter Hairstreak records. Despite the lack of recent records
there is a chance that it could still be in Cornwall because elms are a
common tree or shrub. Details of the butterfly and elms are given on the
survey web site.

The best news is, that it is an all year round survey as, White-letter
Hairstreak eggs have already been found in Yorkshire. So despite the
*weather, I have only seen one butterfly so far this year, it is possible to
get out there recording.

*Over three inches of rain near Land's End on the 4th March. And half an
inch recorded today so far.
