BMT Lists

I'm not really into lists (any and every one of them would be short and unimpressive) but I thought I'd attempt a list of the Bird, Butterfly & Damselfly Species I've seen on the Box Moor Trust estate, Hertfordshire (in no particular order). For the Butterflies, if I saw them at one site only, I’ve indicated that: BW = Bovingdon Brickworks; RD = Roughdown Common; * = a colony of 14 at BW (2014).
