Butterfly spotting in the Midlands
Dare we say the butterfly is the nation's most loved insect? They're a sure sign of summer and sunny weather, but due to reduction in suitable habitats numbers are in steady decline. A handful of properties here in the Midlands actively monitor the butterfly population, in the hope we can work to reverse this downward spiral. But thanks to gardens and landscapes with a huge variety of flora and fauna we still have some of the best places to see them.
