Need something to do with the kids this weekend, get them involved in the Big Butterfly Count which has been running all week and ends on Sunday, so there is plenty of time to take part.
Quite simply you count all the species you see in a 15 minute period and log them, if you read the previous blog all the details are there to help you join in the fun and become a citizen scientist.
Here are some species you may see at Northward Hill or Cliffe Pools.
Thanks to Rob Budgen and David Saunders for the butterfly images.
The North Kent Marshes are a very special area and worth preserving at all cost.
