A Peacock Butterfly flew across Warrington Road, from Ince Cemetery, and landed on the gable wall of the row on houses there. I guess a cemetery is a good place to find nectar at this time of year...

Scarlet Elf Cup on the Fairhurst Lane Reclamation Site, Standish today, between Ashfield Park and the railway

Just checked and the Ladybird app does also provide info for the Harlequin survey. Thanks for the link John.

Hi John
I reported them to the Biological Records Centre via the iRecord ladybirds app. Would that be the same thing?
Regards
Dave
