.....Once restricted to the Channel Islands and in places along the UK's
south coast, Jersey Tiger has spread in recent years to other
southern counties, London and now appears to be moving northwards.
Nottinghamshire's first record came from Phil Cadman's Worksop garden on
August 5th 2020, coming during a favourable spell of southerly winds
which saw migrant activity from a number of sites. In 2021, there were a
further two records (via Butterfly
Conservation) from Portland Park at
Kirkby-in-Ashfield (O'Connor, L.)
and from Rainworth (Robinson, D.)
on August 5th. |
