Butterfly Conservation Scotland and Portmoak Community Woodlands Group ran a butterfly event. Duncan Davidson, of Butterfly Conservation, trapped and identified moths and butterflies on Portmoak Moss on the Saturday night and Sunday morning, then he showed us on what he found: about 70 species, with the most populous having more than 200 individuals.

The event was well attended with more than 30 people taking part in a walk over the the Moss, especially looking for tte Large Heath Butterfly. Which we failed to find. Oh well, it was still great fun and we learnt a lot.
