On Sunday 10 August our church joined the Big Butterfly Count and spotted 4 beautiful species fluttering through our gardens!
A group of 10 of us spotted 3 Large Whites, a Small White, a Speckled Wood and a Gatekeeper (pictured).
Taking part helps scientists and conservationists understand how butterflies are doing and how we can protect them. Every sighting, big or small, makes a difference.
We’ll plan to do it again next year!
