Big Butterfly Count at Wallington

Join the Big Butterfly Count and see what species you can find around the Wallington estate.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Grab a map of Wallington, an ID spotter sheet and see what you can spot as you explore our estate. Will you see an Orange Tip in the meadow, a Speckled Wood in the woods or a Red Admiral in the Walled Garden?

As well as having fun spotting and some beautiful butterflies you will also be helping us with important monitoring. Butterflies are sensitive indicators on the health of the environment as well as being an important pollinator of plants.

Please note: this event is weather dependant as if it is wet and windy most butterflies will be in hiding!
