This time of year the butterflies should be all over the place. If you live in the UK why don't you help scientists discover just how many butterflies are around by joining the Big Butterfly Count. All you have to do is go to www.bigbutterflycount.org and print out a sheet identifying British butterflies you are likely to see. Then choose a sunny day from 16-31st July and sit in your garden (or your allotment!) for 15 minutes and see how many you can see. Simply go to the website and add your findings.

The Big Butterfly Count
I've certainly noticed fewer butterflies in the garden this year, have you?

To the terribly annoying little white ones count? :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous photo. Don't known how good I'd be at that though.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like our situation with bees and bats.
ReplyDeleteHappy counting :)

Far fewer butterflies around us though I saw a red admiral and a gatekeeper on our tayberry and a few whites searching for a unprotected brassica plant.
ReplyDeleteI've seen mostly white butterflies in the garden so far. Thanks for info on butterfly count. Kelli
ReplyDeleteLots of whites around here and I'm seeing tortoiseshells (I think) at the City Farm. Other than that I'm not quick enough to photo them or ID them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. Sounds like a fab way to spend some time with my littl'uns :-) Love 'n' hugs, Mel xx
ReplyDeleteNo shortage of Cabbage Whites, or their caterpillars!!!
