The Big Butterfly Count in the neglected orchard

The Orchard Year took part in The Big Butterfly Count (thanks to Flighty for letting us know about it) and this is what we saw in our 15 minutes:


3 x Ringlet


5 x Meadow Brown

 
12 x Small White


1 x Small Tortoiseshell

Have you joined in the Big Butterfly Count? What did you see?

  1. Thanks for the mention. I saw just a handful of whites and a couple of small tortoiseshells when I did mine. Flighty xx
