Hello,

We hope you’re very well and that you’re managing to keep cool if you’re somewhere that’s been affected by the recent heatwaves.

Summertime and Butterflies:

Summertime and butterflies go together and, if you’re in the UK, perhaps you’d like to take part in the Big Butterfly Count, which is underway until Sunday, August 7th.  Simply choose a sunny spot and spend 15 minutes looking out for butterflies. You can record your sightings using Butterfly Conservation’s app or download a Butterly ID chart. All the details you need are here.

We’re about to head off on our summer break and look forward to seeing you here again in a few weeks’ time.  While we’re away, do take a browse through some of our earlier posts and, if you’re looking for some summer reading ideas, we have lots of suggestions on our Reading List here.

Have a lovely summer and see you in late September,

Claire and Sam
