Pearl-bordered Fritillary at Struddicks

Location: South West Coast Path in LOOE - access via the National Trust fields called "Struddicks"
​Photographer: Rowena Castillo Nicholls
​Videographer: Rob Nicholls

What a fantastic and fabulous "4 days off" this Easter. Me and Rob Nicholls had done some reflection and praying as well as having a great time bonding, walking, butterfly and birdwatching. We've been good in eating fish and vegetables only too. No meat at all.

First thing in the morning, we went to mass at the Roman Catholic Church, Our Lady Star of the Sea and Saint Anthony in St Mawes. In the afternoon, we went to Struddicks, Looe. It was really great to see 14 different kind of species in one day. Seeing the gorgeous Pearl-bordered Fritillary is such an added bonus. It was indeed a very successful day for me and Rob.


Struddicks, a short but fairly demanding route through an unkempt wilderness alight with vivid flowers and butterflies in the summer months. This walk climbs high above the cliffs to give spectacular views. Thanks to the landowners' conservation strategies, the area is brimming with wildlife. The rocks, steps and stile along the coast path give the walk an adventurous flavour.
