For those that do not know the site, here is a Collard Hill map with the places we mention in the blog posts:
Basic map describing some of the places mentioned during blog posts (Sourced google images, annotated by Charlotte Faulkner 16/06/2012)
There will be a ranger until the end of June and early July to help you find the butterflies and we are looking into making a more comprehensive map for next season!
Cheers,
Lottie- LB ranger
Lottie,
Thank you. We are about to travel 200 miles to (hopefully) see Large Blues and it is a great confidence builder to have your map and the assurance that someone will be there to help.

You are welcome David. I was not on duty the day you visited unfortunately.That is quite a bit of mileage to undertake, I hope you were successful!

Hi Lottie, Many thanks for your help early this morning. It was a great sight seeing the large blues and the other butterflies on the hillside along with the hunting/hovering Kestrels and the supporting Sparrowhawk. Next time I must make an effort to go and see the orchids.

Definately Robin, really glad you saw the blues. I shall be on site all weekend and next week although I finish at the end of June. I am about to go to work now so if you drop by I will make sure to show you the orchids, the weather is just horrible but at least Collard has lots of other fantastic wildlife as well as the Large Blues. Poor butterflies though.
