Looking for Purple Hairstreak butterflies at Shaw Wood
Kirsty Menzies will be leading this walk to look for Purple Hairstreak Butterflies in Shaw Wood, Dykebar, Paisley. This is an unusual species of butterfly as it actively flies in the early evening high in the canopy of mature oak trees. As a result it is widely under-recorded. Bring your binoculars and scopes for a good chance of seeing them.

Meet next to the car park at Dykebar Hospital (as shown by the orange marker on the map) at 6:30pm. Please ensure that you wear appropriate footwear and clothing.  The walk has some rough tracks and gentle inclines.
