Big Butterfly Count

Did the Big Butterfly Count in my garden today and strangely had my first garden record of Six-spot Burnet during the count (nectaring on Lavender). This is one of only two moth species included in the survey, the other being Silver Y. Butterflies seen in the 15 minute count were Holly Blue, Large White and Speckled Wood.

You have until 31st July to take part in the count, see:
