Butterfly Conservation Big Butterfly Count
The Big Butterfly Count is a nationwide survey aimed at helping assess the state of the environment. It was launched in 2010 and has become the world's largest survey of butterflies. The hot sunny weather today (29.1 degrees) has been ideal. I have completed two counts: one in the garden this morning where I saw large and small whites and a holly blue, and one in the local woodland cemetery 5 minutes walk away this afternoon where I counted gatekeepers, meadow browns, ringlets, large, small and green veined whites and speckled woods.
