We are interested in receiving sightings of the male Orange-tip butterfly which you can see during the Spring months, usually between April and June.
We need to know the number you have seen, when you saw them and where. The date and location is very important as it helps us build a map of where the butterfly lives and over time will show changes in is distribution and the effects of climate and habitat change.
If you do not have access to a computer, your sightings can also be sent by post or taken in person to:
Stratford Butterfly Farm
Butterfly Conservation Orange-tip Count
Swan’s Nest Lane
Stratford-upon-Avon
CV37 7LS
Individuals
Anyone can take part. We need as many records as possible in order to help us understand the distribution of the Orange-tip in Warwickshire and the effects if any, that global warming has on this species. Every record is important, so if you see a male Orange-tip in your garden or on your travels anywhere in the Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull area, please let us know about it.
Schools, Colleges, Country Parks etc
