The majority of day-flying moth records* for Warwickshire, Coventry, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield come from casual observers and dedicated volunteers who submit their sightings via our online recording form. Prior to 2018, sightings of day-flying moths were submitted as additional notes to our butterfly sightings recording form.
*All records submitted are processed and checked for errors before the data is submitted to Butterfly Conservation at the end of the season.

Additional Notes
I'd had my eye on this site for Dingy Skipper. Absolutely delighted when my hunch paid off! The three seen were so far apart as to suggest a much larger colony, or several small colonies. One was quite close to the gravel butterfly (now rather overgrown), which is sweet. I've also found a really good wych elm in the tetrad, though on the other side of the A444. It looks promisingly nibbled.
