Hi friends, I’m sure you are all aware that our butterflies have taken a massive hit lately and are still in decline. I'm hoping that as fellow gardeners you will help boost the number of people taking part in the big butterfly count. It is literally 15 mins of your day, they provide identification sheets and it’s very easy to do online (I am the proof if needed). Thank you Lesley, aka...

I don’t really know where or how to post this but THE BIG BUTTERFLY COUNT is going live from 14th July to 6th August. All you need to do to take part is spent 15 mins recording how many sightings you see of butterflies you see in this 15 min. Please google the big butterfly count for more information and to update your results.Thank you so much.

I only saw this last night, still time to do it. In 15 minutes I counted 1 peacock, 2 gatekeeper, 2 small tortoiseshell, 3 red admiral. Not many really when I remember how many different sorts I could count as a child.
