Butterflies, (and Bumble Bees), everywhere on our Buddleia today. Have a go at counting and identifying butterflies this year and something else you can take part in is the Big Butterfly Count www.bigbutterflycount.org. We are noting a sharp decline in species and need your observations to help us get a better overall picture of the environment we all live in. Lets face it, we can only live on this one planet and we need to preserve it with all its delicate ecosystems so we can actually carry on living on it. So get out there in this beautiful weather and get counting. If your garden has nothing to attract them then plant something to do so, even if it just a pot plant. If you have no garden why not pop down to the local park and survey there? Your results really do help. Ask at your local garden centre for nectar rich flowers, not all the bright colours pull the punters!
