The UK Big Butterfly Count, is here, starting today and running until 4th August.
More info from their website at

There is a free app, downloadable charts and is a fab way to get involved in citizen science, helping with understanding the health of our beautiful, fluttery friends in our gardens and other areas.
So why not walk to your favourite spot and spend some time there to count butterflies!
It's brilliant, isn't it. I take part every year ☺️ We have some in the garden but I'm looking forward to walking in the meadows near the village, so many different butterflies there! 🦋🥰
Fab! Last year I saw plenty, but have not seen any this year!
I haven't seen hide nor hare of butterflies this year - it's worrying 😔🦋😔
😳😥
Last year we had a few butterflies near the lavender and ivy in the back garden. This year I've seen one in my garden and one in one of the meadows around the village, that's it. Very worrying indeed 😔
Signed up and ready for my walk out in the countryside. Thanks for the inspiration 🦋
Brilliant!
I always take part in the bird one so I will definitely do this beautiful one too Thank you for the links 🦋
I have done a couple of counts so far but it’s been cloudy so not seen that many butterflies so far
Yeah, I’m also still waiting for a sunny and hopefully butterfly-rich day.
Hopefully we will get some sunshine soon .
I saw this on TV yesterday, downloaded the app. Will have a go.
2 Walks today and 10,700 steps so far ! 😊
Woohoo, needed eggs today.
Really didn't want to walk today!
