And also for those butterfly enthusiasts don’t miss:

Butterfly Walk & Picnic at Llanymynech Rocks Reserve on Wednesday 5th May at 4.00pm hopefully to see Pearl-bordered Fritillary that were reintroduced last year.  This is one of the best butterfly sites in Montgomeryshire with Dingy and Grizzled Skippers.  Meet at the reserve car park (SJ271220) at the end of Underhill drive in Pant. The reserve is signposted from the main road.  Stout shoes.  No dogs.  Leader Simon Spencer.  These butterflies only fly in sunshine and it is a waste of time in poor weather.  Please ring Simon on 01691 648339 and leave a contact telephone number.  The picnic will take place at about 6.00pm under Asterley rocks.  Bring a picnic and if you are an optimist Champagne!  This is also a Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust event.
