Yes, it’s that time of year again, it’s the Butterfly Conservation’s Big Butterfly Count!
It will be interesting to see the results of this, anecdotally from our wanderings around the Parish we think there might be more this year due to the successive summery heatwaves we’ve had (we’ve also seen a lot more ladybird sightings across the UK this year).
However, the 2024 results of the survey mean that a butterfly emergency was declared due to the dwindling number of these beautiful ecosystem indicators.
The count runs from the 18th July to 10th August, and for more information on how to take part, look at the BCBBC pages!
