    This trip is a real eye-opener for those who think we still have biodiversity in the UK. Yes, we have areas in the UK that are more biodiverse than others, but that's like saying sheep pasture is more biodiverse than a bowling green. Come and see the biodiversity that existed in the UK long ago!

Magura Butterflies

A selection of butterflies sucking mineral salts from wolf dung. The butterflies squabbled for position, often knocking each other away. Every so often a lump of dung would move as a dung beetle tried to heave at it from underneath. High brown fritillary, heath fritillary, lesser marbled fritillary, short-tailed blue, ringlet, comma, red admiral, lesser purple emperor and purple emperor all seen during the the fifteen minutes we were watching. Magura National Park, Poland. June 30th 2016 More information at http://naturewatcher.squarespace.com/journal/2016/7/4/poland-june-30th.html

Purple Emperor Butterfly

We often see purple emperors and other butterflies feeding on shit. They presumably get vital salts and minerals from it. If you'd like to see lots of purple emperors, fritillaries and many other species of butterflies and moths, plus lots of sand lizards, eagles, red-backed shrikes and lots more, come with us on one of our summer trips to Poland. https://secure.wildlifeservices.co.uk/poland-wildlife-trips
