Sunday 19th November 2006 Western Undercliff

A Red Admiral was feeding on ivy along the Western undercliff, where I also noted several Common Field Grasshoppers (Chorthippus brunneus). Some were still "singing" - quite a late record I think? (Dylan)

Thursday 9th November 2006 North Foreland & Foreness

Four species of butterfly today: Red Admiral, Small White, Painted Lady and, best of all, a Clouded Yellow, the latter a Foreness tick for me. Yippee! (Dave Mairs)

Monday 6th November 2006 Ramsgate &Pegwell

I was amazed at just how many butterflies were still on the wing this afternoon - I must have seen over a dozen at Pegwell between 13.00 and 14.30. All the ones I could identify were either Red Admirals or Peacocks
I even saw 2 unidentified butterflies flying south across the mudflat, migrant style?? Probably 100+ Common Darter dragonflies along the Country Park section of the cycle path too. (Phil M)

Monday 6th November 2006 Pegwell area

Still a few butterflies on the wing this morning -Painted Lady, Red Admiral and a White sp. were all noted whilst wandering around the area in the sunshine. (Phil M)
