How far .......
-- .. "Ragnar" wrote in message ... "'Mike'" wrote in message ... ....... did the Painted Ladies Butterflies go North yesterday and Monday evening? They were coming over and into our garden in their dozens, no doubt blown from France in the severe wind and storms. Mike South Facing garden in the South East of the Isle of Wight It never occurred to me to ask before, but how do they find out where butterflies migrate to / from? Their legs are a bit small for rings like birds. R. The Observers Book of Butterflies states that its original home is North Africa, but they breed in such great numbers that they 'have' to migrate, usually North via France to the UK. We have a 'natural' garden with trees and bushes which attracts all sorts of wildlife, books are at 'the ready' so we can see what is what :-)) Mike |
