Focus Nature Notes. Butterflies at last…

Last hurrah ….last week. 

Congratulations to RHS Garden Rosemoor with parts of the garden awash with bees, dragonflies, damselflies and butterflies at last …last week. Amongst the Whites are flashes of yellow, not Clouded Yellow as I thought but newly emerged Brimstone. It was a hopeful sight after the sad news about alarmingly low numbers from the Butterfly Conservation. #butterflycount. Also spotted a Peacock, 3 Red Admirals and my first and only Tortoishell of the year. Watch the clip below, enjoy a tranquil moment, I love to know what flowers are planted here.

“The Butterfly Conservation are calling on the Government to:

1. Declare a nature emergency

2. Implement an immediate and permanent ban on butterfly-harming neonicotinoid pesticides, without exceptions. 

If you agree, sign our letter and join leading conservation figures in calling on the Government to take action now.” Add your voice at (butterfly-conservation.org)
