Hunting the Dukes 2pm – 4pm.
Tuesday 19 May 2026
14:00 to 16:00
This is a combined meeting with the Tisbury Natural History Society. We will meet at Fovant Down - on the road between Fovant and the village of Fifield Bavant. What3Words // barefoot.strategy.indulges. The target species is the Duke of Burgundy butterfly; however, we will also be looking out for other wildlife too! The Down is situated on a steep, north facing slope and is therefore, unfortunately, only suitable for the sure-footed. Booking is essential for this meeting as we are restricting attendance to 20 (10 people from each society) – first come first served. I will organise a car share with those who want to attend, as there is very limited parking available on site. Leader: Peter Thompson – peter.gl.thompson@outlook.com or 07710344340
