Big Butterfly Count 2024

Hot on the heels of Alireza's post (see below) we concluded our 4Bs butterfly and moth count at the weekend. Our survey is a contribution to the UK-wide Big Butterfly Count organised by Butterfly Conservation https://butterfly-conservation.org/ whose mission is to save butterflies, moths and the environment. 

One of the aims of our 4Bs Biodiversity Park initiative is to demonstrate how a community working together can contribute to studying and understanding biodiversity in our area. The Big Butterfly Count provides an excellent opportunity to demonstrate this and we are grateful to the 54 people who participated in the survey collectively making 174 counts. A report of what we discovered can be found HERE

In this post we simply celebrate the beauty and diversity of the butterflies that we found through a short movie. Our intention is to add more species to our list and movie as we discover them so if you spot any more species do let us know by emailing [email protected] if possible with a photo.

​Enjoy
