So, something as simple as recording a butterfly spotted in your garden, at your local park or on your window box can play a part in vital research into a global problem.

All the counts can be viewed on the interactive map. The numbers of small tortoiseshell, comma, green-veined white, large white and red admiral butteries are all low compared with their ten-year average.

An example is the Jersey tiger, a really striking moth that flies during the day as well as at night. These moths have been well-established along the south coast of England but are moving further north and are now found in ever increasing numbers in London. The Big Butterfly Count is easy to take part in, and can be undertaken by everyone and anywhere, including cities, towns and the countryside.

This information will not only help us to protect these species, but also to inform what effect the changing climate is having on our biodiversity. Find a sunny spot and spend 15 minutes counting the butterflies you see. There are slightly different methods of recording, depending on if you are counting from a fixed position or during a walk.

The Big Butterfly Count website explains the difference:. If you are counting from a fixed position in your garden, count the maximum number of each species that you can see at a single time.

If you are doing your count on a walk, then simply total up the number of each butterfly species that you see during the 15 minutes. Multiple counts can be undertaken for different dates at the same location, and for different places. Counts undertaken during the survey period can be submitted until the end of August.

Connections Featured in Wogan: Episode User reviews 18 Review. Top review. Very funny, low key comedy. This is one of the most subtle comedies to come out of the UK. Not as brash or slapstick as a lot of others.

Lots of character development, especially the lead, Ria, played by Wendy Craig. Every middle aged woman I know that has seen Butterflies relates to the frustrations that Wendy portrays so well, not just the stale marriage and longing for romantic adventure, but also the idea of being a stay-at-home "kept woman".
