Great to see lots of pollinators on a walk around Hammersmith Park with Urbanwise.London . The group helped record 119 pollinating insects with bumblebees the most abundant at 42. They loved the catmint in flowerbeds but the greatest variety were seen in native meadow and shrubs.

Join me for a butterfly ID and recording workshop in Basingstoke, Hampshire. A slide presentation will be followed by a guided walk around Down Grange nature reserve looking at chalk grassland species such as Small Blue. Butterfly Conservation 🦋 eventbrite.co.uk/e/butterfly-id…

Everyone enjoyed learning to identify different butterfly species at this workshop at Down Grange in Basingstoke. We recorded an amazing 14 different species using the iRecord butterflies app. The app is great for learning and doing surveys.

Working with volunteers and council ecologists we recorded over 150 pollinating insects at Normand Park on a pollinator count. The meadow area had many hover flies and this beautiful common blue butterfly. The community garden had this tree bumblebee feeding on verbena.
