Butterfly Conservation Warwickshire
Records and Recording
Welcome to the records homepage

Butterfly Conservation runs schemes to monitor butterflies and moths which involve over 10,000 volunteer recorders across the UK. The data gathered in our world-renowned schemes is used by the Government to indicate the health of the environment at national, UK and European levels.

The on-going monitoring programmes help us direct our conservation effort where it is needed. It also helps us asses how effective current conservation work is.

Anyone can take part, from butterfly beginners to experienced recorders.

The vast majority of our records in Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull come from dedicated volunteers and casual observers who may conduct transect surveys or send in completed casual or site recording forms (see recording forms box below right) to our branch butterfly and moth recorders.

Other records are submitted online using our online submission form. All online records form part of Butterfly Conservation's national recording scheme.

The links on this page allow you to view records of butterfly and moth sightings and submit your own sightings to us online. You do not need to be a member to submit your records or view the reports. We welcome submissions from anyone where sightings occur within the Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull area. See map.

We also maintain a first sightings database (2007 - 2008) and records archive online.

Please note that the online records consist only of records submitted online.
