Notes: A species which has declined or disappeared altogether in many areas due to development of its birch woodland habitat. Most often seen now in the New Forest and the north-east. A diurnal flyer, seen in warm spring sunshine, often high amongst the branches but occasionally seen well on the ground - it seems to have an attraction to horse dung.
