Local Information

I've seen a red admiral butterfly

Click Here to take part in our red admiral survey

Until recently you would only see a red admiral in the warmer spring and summer months, but they are now being seen earlier in the year possibly as a result of rising temperatures. Tracking red admiral sightings will help us monitor the effect of climate change in Gloucestershire.
