Transect Recorders Required

We are keen to attract transect recorders for two sites in West Sussex; Kingley Vale at SU820105 and Pagham Harbour at SZ856965. The Pagham Harbour site is managed by RSPB and is close to the visitor centre at Sidlesham. It is around 2.5 hectares in size and is known to have colonies of uncommon species such as Brown Hairstreak and White-letter Hairstreak. If you are interested, please contact Julia Lowson, transect co-ordinator, for further details, at transects@sussex-butterflies.org.uk
