Big Butterfly Count

Would you like to take part in a survey of butterflies in your garden or some other local site? It's a bit like the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch but for butterflies, and it takes as little as a quarter of an hour.

For full details see http://www.bigbutterflycount.org/ . There's even a chart to download to help with identification. And as well as sending your results to the organisers, email them to the EEG Webmaster, with your postcode or where you recorded your butterflies, and we'll try to produce a butterfly map of Earley.

The survey is run by the charity Butterfly Conservation, in association with Marks & Spencer.
