Butterflies of Coleton Fishacre
The definitive wildlife garden, in a sheltered combe on the Devon coast near Dartmouth. This garden is seriously good for butterflies in August and September: migrant Clouded Yellow, Red Admiral and Painted Lady are frequent, Common Blue and Marbled White breed in the grassland, Wall Brown patrols the banks, and the common butterflies are everywhere. Essential visiting. Rare vagrant butterflies such as the Monarch can appear here.
