An Introduction to the Butterflies of Sussex (12/07/25) Saturday, 12th July 2025 9:30 AM - 1:00 PM
Tutor: Michael Blencowe
During the summer months, Sussex comes alive with butterflies. There are 46 species in the county and this course will help you to identify them and tell you where to find them.
The course starts with an illustrated indoor session (approx. 90 minutes) which introduces you to the butterflies of Sussex. Learn how to identify them and find out more about their behaviour. Then we’ll head off around Woods Mill nature reserve looking for admirals, fritillaries, hairstreaks, emperors and other species in the meadows and woodlands.
