Brown Ringlet? I thought they were more coastal.

Hi @Trevor , Very interested to see your Brown Ringlet sighting, thank you for posting. You have marked the sighting location as Higgins Park in the ACT, can you confirm this as correct location please? As APB notes above, this is, in the main, a species from the moister coastal areas with several CNM records from the nearby Majors Creek/Araluen districts. Any information on vegetation type or other images welcome. Thanks, Owen.
