- **Event Description**: Join NHSN Senior Naturalist, James Common, on a friendly, informal walk in search of one of Newcastle's most elusive butterflies.About this EventAbout this EventFrom a distance, the Dingy Skipper can easily be mistaken for a day-flying moth. This is a small, well-camouflaged butterfly best seen on sunny days. In recent decades, the Dingy skipper has suffered a 42% decline nationally, and on Tyneside, it is a priority species for local conservation.Perfect for beginners, in this walk, we'll set out in search of this cryptic (and rather speedy) butterfly, learning to identify it in the field and recording any we see for Gosforth's Wild Web. We may also encounter a range of other grassland butterflies, which we will pause and enjoy.Questions are welcome at any time by emailing james.common@newcastle.ac.uk. Please note that in the event of poor weather, this event may be postponed - butterflies don't fly on rainy days.Essential InformationEvent lead: James CommonEvent length: 1 session, Wednesday 21 May, 11.00 am -1.00 pmEvent structure: Informal walkLevel: Beginner/EnthusiastMeet at: Pottery Bank Car Park, Walker, NZ 28857 62961, fills.unfair.skinnyEvent cost: Free to allAbout Gosforth's Wild WebAll Gosforth's Wild Web events are free, fun and friendly.
