Yes, there definitely seem to have been more butterflies around at certain times and in certain places. But also surprisingly few at other times and places. I was out walking in Kent yesterday in an area with lots of wildflowers and didn't see a single butterfly which was a bit of a disappointment. I hope your children continue to see lots more this summer.
I hadn’t heard of people walking these transects before. What a great data set that must produce! I love your description of the calming effect the slower paced walk has. We saw a good variety of species out on the Stodmarsh reserve in Thanet this weekend. I look forward to hearing more about your writing course!
Yes, it's great to have so much data from all the decades of transects but sad that it shows such a decline in the numbers of butterflies. I'm looking forward to writing about my time on Ynys Enlli for my next post. It was a wonderful experience.
My kids have commented on how they're seeing more butterflies in the garden this year so far (we're in Bucks). We're hopeful that continues.
