Butterfly Conservation10Each butterfly has been lovingly hand drawn by wildlife illustrator Richard Lewington, capturing the detail, colour and character that makes each butterfly unique.
John Henderson3I was sure the swallowtail would be topping the list but it currently lies 8th. I suppose, like many rarer butterflies, it will suffer from not having been seen by many people nationally. When I finally saw one I was amazed at how tropical looked. It was almost too exotic for the Norfolk Broads.
Angela2They’re all so precious, I couldn’t possibly choose.
