The Butterfly Conservation is running the Big Butterfly Count which is a UK-wide survey aimed at helping them assess the health of our environment simply by counting the amount and type of butterflies (and some day-flying moths) we see.

The Big Butterfly Count begins on Friday 14th July 2023 and will run until Sunday 6th August.
