Monks Wood in Cambs has a storied butterfly past.
Black Hairstreak was first noted as a UK species here.
Ernie Pollard developed the @ukbms.bsky.social transect design here, and it's had a transect ever since - 50+ years of data.
It remains one of the best wildlife sites in the east of England.

A first family outing to Monks Wood, Cambridgeshire this morning. What a place. Plenty of Black Hairstreaks, one newly-emerged White Admiral and a Norfolk Hawker. All put on iRecord.
