Moth Event and Butterfly Walk at Windmill Farm

This event is organised by Cornwall Butterfly Conservation. Please check their website (https://www.cornwall-butterfly-conservation.org.uk/events.html) and social media for more information, including contact details; it is important to check the website and social media before an event in case of cancellation or changes, such as due to weather.

Dougy Wright, CWT volunteer warden, will introduce the moths found in the area of Windmill Farm; meet in the Field Studies Centre at the reserve as Dougy opens the traps.

After the moth event there will be a walk through the reserve where we would hope to see late summer butterflies, including the Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary and Grayling, and, around the pools, dragonflies and damselflies. There is also the chance of seeing Marsh Fritillary larval webs. Meet at the car park by the windmill which is down a lane off the A3083 (SW693152) TR12 7LH; W3W lamp.sparkle.prevented 

Please note dogs are not allowed anywhere on this site.. If you want to stay and walk around the reserve, please bring a packed lunch.
