The Big Butterfly Count Comes to Brookside!

On Tuesday this week, PROSPECTS hosted the first of their summer buttfly surveys, as part of the UK-wide Big Butterfly Count. Dispite the cloudy conditions, our intrepid citizen scientists were treated to a fabulous variety of finds, including green-veined whites, a peacock, red admirals, and speckled wood. Our data will be submitted to the Big Butterfly Count, so keep an eye out for the national results later in the year.
