Wildlife at Brandy Hole Copse
(This webpage was published on 18th July 2023.) Under development
Please record your wildlife sightings.
- If you are certain of what you have seen, iRecord gets your sighting "collated, checked by experts and made available to support research and decision-making at local and national levels".
- The Friends of Brandy Hole Copse is working on creating a project using iNaturalist, which will allow the observations recorded at Brandy Hole Copse to be analysed more easily by Chichester District Council (as Copse managers) and the Friends.
If you're curious about wildlife recording but looking to improve your knowledge, use Seek by iNaturalist to understand better what you're seeing. Merlin, the birdsong app, helps you identify birds you can hear but cannot see.
All are available as an app to use on a smartphone whilst visiting the Copse. iRecord and iNaturalist can be used online (photograph, or sound recording, needs to be uploaded to evidence your submission).

Butterflies at the Copse
Which White?
"One of the hardest common butterfly species to identify accurately are white butterflies, especially when first starting out. It can be awkward to compare distinguishing features of butterflies using guide books, where each butterfly species usually has its own separate dedicated section. This article uses side-by-side “real-life” comparison photos of “confusion” species taken from similar angles, including images of faded individuals, to help “get your eye in” and identify which white butterfly you saw."
