I’ll be doing it again this year. Probably a couple of times.
Just done my first count. 4 green veined white.
What’s everyone else seen on there count?
Second count
1 red admiral
2 green veined white
The buddlehia is out now, so just waiting for a sunny day.
I'm hopeless at this. I'll see a butterfly and remember This Count but can't seem to sit down in the right place for 15 minutes to count them properly.
My first count this year
3 red admiral
2 peacock
1 silver Y
Anyone else been counting? What have you seen in your 15 minute period
Not remembered to count for 15 minutes but watched butterflies for fun on a buddleia yesterday (which is cheating a bit). 8 red admirals, 2 peacock numerous white/yellow ones a couple of painted ladies and I think a tortoiseshell plus one unidentified.
JJB I don’t see why You couldn’t still add those butterflies to a count.
.
They won’t know it wasn’t a full 15 minutes worth. I’d be delighted to have that many butterflies in an hour, never mind less than 15mins
Did my second count today. I was only taking rubbish to the bin. 20 minutes later I completed the task. Well you can’t walk past the buddleia when the sun is out.
7 peacock
2 small tortoise shell
1 red admiral
1 green veined white
