Report written by Judy Knapp

We contributed to the Butterfly Conservation Trust's 2024 Big Butterfly Count.

GoodGymers chose gardens, parks and wild places to sit and watch for 15 minutes, and to count & identify any butterflies. Several GGers took an evening walk into Hilsea Lines to see how many they could spot, others added butterfly counting at the end of Victoria Park gardening.

Richard seemed to have most success, with plentiful numbers of Red Admirals.

Samantha was helped by her chickens to match the butterflies to the identification sheet!

All the data helps the Butterfly Conservation Trust to understand the health of the UK butterfly population.
