Glanvilles Take Over the Slopes.

It is now three weeks since the first adult Glanville Fritillary was reported on the the Isle of Wight.Today on the landslip close to Compton Chine the Glanvilles were out in force despite the seafog rolling in and cooling down the temperatures.In cloudy weather the butterflies tend to snuggle down in the long grass but there were still plenty to see nectaring on the thrift and ribwort plantain.It certainly looks like another good year for this butterfly and encouraging are sightings made in the east of the Island.
