Get ready for the Big Butterfly Count 2026!
The Big Butterfly Count 2026 takes place from this Friday, 17 July to Sunday, 9 August.
Butterflies need our help. By taking part in the Big Butterfly Count, you can contribute to one of the UK's largest science surveys and help build a picture of how butterflies are doing across our towns, parks and countryside.
Taking part is easy - simply spend a short time counting butterflies and submit your sightings. Every count helps scientists monitor species and understand the health of our environment. Full details, including a butterfly chart and a link to the free big butterfly app can be found here: Big Butterfly Count
So, dust off your butterfly ID skills, keep an eye out for your favourite species and get ready to be part of something big this year!
Every butterfly counts. Every observation matters.
