Save Our Butterflies Week (24th July - 1st August 2010)
Save Our Butterflies Week normally takes place during the week of 24th July - 1st August 2010 and is an opportunity for Butterfly Conservation members and the general public to take part in a national recording scheme which year on year helps us to build a picture of any changes in butterfly populations over time.
Why not take part and help make a difference
Take part by conducting a simple butterfly and day-flying moth count. All you have to do is pick a sunny mid-afternoon during Save Our Butterflies Week and make a count of the maximum numbers of each species of butterfly that are present on a Buddleia bush over a period of about 30 minutes.
You should also include any day flying moths such as Silver-Y or Humming-bird Hawk-moths you see too. |

We have a simple recording form which you can use to record your sightings during Save Our Butterflies Week.
