Belted Beauty Moth count 

Saturday 13th April 2024 starting 10:30am.

Potts Corner, LANCASHIRE. 

Organiser Ryan Clark

The annual survey of the Belted Beauty moth colony will take place on Saturday 13th April, meeting in the Potts Corner Car Park (SD413571) at 10:30am. Be prepared for cold, wet, and windy conditions and waterproof walking boots or wellies are strongly advised. On occasions a charge is levied for parking but is unlikely to exceed £1. 


The count has been arranged to avoid the highest tides but the area is still very muddy with some deep, water-filled channels. Those attending are asked to take care when moving around on the marsh.

Please contact me if you have any queries rclark@butterfly-conservation.org
