A Small Copper was spotted in The Close today by Carole Smith.
With its wings closed it is a dull brown but once open they spectacular. It feeds of Common Sorrell which is growing amongst the grasses.
We are grateful for all the surveys Carole undertakes for the charity. If you have an interest in nature and would like to assist in conducting surveys in The Close or Community Orchard please get in touch by sending an email to contact@pittonnaturtrust.org.uk
