Martin travelled from Bristol on 27/02/19 to look for the Large Tortoiseshell reported as seen at Tout Quarry, Portland.
He says he was there for four hours and was about to leave having only seen this Peacock, when he saw some people looking into a gully. Lo and behold, there was his target species. Now that’s dedication!
Has the Large Tortoishell been seen in the summer? in other words did it breed on Portland?
It was seen in flight by @Britnatureguide kast Sunday in Tout Quarry.Do not know about breeding.
