The reserve was “heaving with ringlets – both on and off the transect” according to Alan Kydd, who carried out the recording for week 16 of the butterfly season. Fifty four butterflies were recorded on the transect (a five metre wide band following some of the paths around the reserve): Gatekeeper aka Hedge Brown (4), Large Skipper (1), Meadow Brown (10), Ringlet (29) and various Whites (10).
