Butterflies are good biodiversity indicators, they react quickly to changes in the local environment, and a decline in their numbers is an early warning for the well being of other wildlife
So how do you get involved? You just need 15 minutes on a sunny day (asking a lot at the moment, I know!) get yourself outside & count how many butterflies you see. Then visit www.bigbutterflycount.org to record your results. The website also has useful butterfly charts if you don't know your Meadow Brown from your Red Admiral & results from last years big count, as well as information on butterfly conservation.
One!

I saw loads of admirals when I was in Wales recently. In Scotland 0, except for those dastardly white cabbage butterflies searching for somewhere to lay eggs, but this year I got no brassicas (haha), well not really I wish I had some kale.
Hope your well dear friend x
I was thinking of you this weekend, as I made a seitan loaf. Will be in touch - promise.
