We had our annual butterfly count  on Sunday afternoon and saw more butterflies than I think we've ever seen - normally they wait until the day and all disappear! 

As with previous years, we opened up the church to celebrate the diversity of butterflies and to take part in the Big Butterfly Count. The glorious weather I'm sure helped as many butterflies were spotted, origami butterflies decorated the church and as usual there were refreshments to be had.

We continue to enjoy this event and look forward to repeating it again, so keep an eye out for more information.

If you would like to see the results head over to: https://bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org/ and please think about joining the count next year. You could also download the iNaturalist app to record and identify other flora and fauna.
