The Big Butterfly Count is a UK-wide survey aimed at helping Butterfly Conservation (BC) assess the health of our environment simply by counting the amount and type of butterflies (and some day-flying moths) we see.
It’s not too late to take part in this year’s Big Butterfly Count, which runs until 8th August 2021.
If you want to use the Big Butterfly Count App to take part then you can download it and submit your sightings during the Count period
As a conservation charity, BC appreciate any donations towards protecting butterflies, moths and the environment for future generations.
Step 1: Get ready

Step 2: Join in
Between now and Sunday 8th August choose a place to spot butterflies and moths. Watch for 15 minutes. Then record which species you see in Step 3.
