Allowing grass to grow long in your garden can greatly boost butterflies. Along with having Holly or Ivy present plus if you live in a city or arable farming area can boost numbers upto 90%. This research by BC involved 600 gardens in the Garden Butterfly Scheme. Proof at last!
Very excited about our new paper! @LisbethHordley & I show that if you have long grass in your garden you’ll see more butterflies, that more long grass is better & that the effects are greater for gardens in more urban & arable landscapes. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 🧵
We combined with YWT to record a Butterfly Identification Training zoom. Aimed at new transect walkers as well as a refresher it takes a deep dive into the problem species and techniques you can use to improve your accuracy with lots of handy tips. youtu.be/6Bl_9V3BvaI
Let it grow! 🌿 New research proves that letting parts of your garden grow wild with long grass can increase butterfly numbers by up to 93% and attract a wider range of species. Read the full story 👉 butterfly-conservation.org/news-and-blog/… 📷: Will Langdon @RichardFoxBC @LisbethHordley
Help needed at our last Duke of Burgundy Work Party planting Primroses in the Hawnby Area this coming Saturday. Please Contact [email protected]
Have you got your White’s in a muddle? Do the Skippers have you hopping and jumping? Are day-flying moths a mystery? We’ll look at some of the common identification challenges and offer helpful guidance and top tips. Not had a Invite? Like to join in? Please let us know.
Speckled Wood and Orange Tip first seen this week firing the starting gun on the butterfly season in Yorkshire. With a cracking Easter weekend forecast of 14'C and sunny can expect more first sightings? So far the spring species are dead on schedule yorkshirebutterflies.org.uk/home
The 2023 Yorkshire Butterfly season was so nearly a record year. With 70% of our monitored sites up, half of species were losers notably: Green-viened White, Ringlet and Small Torts. Record highs: Brimstone, Holly Blue, Speckled Wood, Comma & Gatekeeper. youtu.be/xUmwagi6iMY
Help protect two of Yorkshires rarest species. We are seeking volunteer walkers for Strensall Common(York) and Fen Bog (Goathland). We would love to hear from anyone who might be interested?
There are many reports of Large Tortoiseshell across the UK this week and Yorkshire often sees an odd one of this very elusive rapidly returning species much like the Comma did in Yorkshire back in the 80's. Easily confused see guide. NB Overall colour is not a guide
Purple Emperor larvae have started feeding in Sussex - the earliest they've been recorded feeding in UK, by >7 days. Here's one from Sherwood Forest on Tues, waiting for the sallow to flower and then come into leaf - like being stuck in airport Departures.
We take a closer look at what could have been so easily a record breaking year for Yorkshire's Butterflies, but there are losers after the extreme heat of 2022. Join us and the YWT team looking at our new sites and some of the notable achievements of 2023 youtu.be/0dxhc7cOGPc
If you would like to help out at the next Duke of Burgundy Work party in the Hawnby Area its this weekend. Please contact Dave O'Brien directly at [email protected]
Good news! Counting butterflies is good for us 🦋💚 The research in collaboration with @DerbyUni, revealed that taking part in the #BigButterflyCount reduces anxiety by almost 10%, while also improving mental wellbeing. Read the full findings 👉 butterfly-conservation.org/news-and-blog/…

Clifton Backies has some great grassland butterfly habitat and at least one threatened species; Small Heath. It would be great to restart its butterfly transect and add to the data going back 20 years increasing its already considerable value enormously.
Our 2024 Transect Walkers meetup is on Thursday March 14th at 7.30pm. We take a closer look at what could have been so easily a record breaking year and for half the county and species it was! If you have not yet recieved an invite email [email protected]

Incredible data on sad decline of butterflies in NL, starting in 1890s, but still going. A few winners but far more losers. Intensive agriculture may feed us, but comes at a heavy price. Surely we can find a better way of producing food without trashing wildlife?
How are butterflies doing in NL? There are many ways to look at this, depending on the time-frame and the data available. 1/11

Top sides are for showing off! Undersides are for camouflage. The exquisite peacock butterfly.
Wake up routine for a meadow brown butterfly :) The butterfly uses it's labial palps to remove the dew from it's eyes! I had to record about 20 mins of footage this morning to get this 8 seconds! Canon R5 and MP-E 65mm @BC_Yorkshire @savebutterflies @ukbutterflies
