     Eco Eric’s Tip: Three-quarters of British butterfly species are now in decline and over the last century, four         species of butterfly and more than 60 moth species have become extinct. We can help scientists understand why this is happening by taking part in the ‘Big Butterfly Count’.  Just spent a pleasant 15 minutes in your garden, churchyard or other green space, on a sunny day and note the maximum number of each species of butterfly you see. The count can be done any time between 12th July and 4^th August.  More information will be in the national press or see: https://butterfly-conservation.org
