The Big Butterfly Count is back today – and following the disastrous spring weather, your counts have never been more critical.
Many species of butterflies have had a poor spring or a delay in their emergence following the unseasonably cold and wet weather, with several down in abundance compared with their 10-year average.
We urgently need to understand the impact on this summer’s butterflies and you can help by taking part in the Big Butterfly Count.
It takes just 15 minutes to take part and by doing so, you will help us understand how different species are faring in your area, which in turn will help us target research and conservation work where it’s needed most. |
