Grayling, Folly Bog
A Grayling (Hipparchia semele) in the Folly Bog near West End. This is one of the best camouflaged butterflies in the UK, when settled on gravel or pine detritus it can totally disappear. The eye on the forewing is normally hidden but the butterfly will flick up the forewing when it feels threatened to distract predators. The heaths of southern England are among its last strongholds, the species having suffered major population declines over the last 20 years.

Folly Bog
Folly Bog is an area that lies between the northern edge of the Pirbright Ranges danger area and Red Road. Although owned by the MOD it is cared for by the Surrey Wildlife Trust. As an experiment and in order to help the boggy conditions to revive, the Trust has brought in a herd of Highland cattle to keep the invasive scrub under control. So far, according to the rangers, the experiment seems to be working well, tender birch shoots seeming to be very much to the cattle's liking. In order to prevent the cattle wandering it has been necessary to install fencing and cattle grids.
