Butterfly Records Wanted

The Islay Natural History Trust is trying to increase its records of butterflies on Islay this year. It seems a good year to be doing it because there are so many butterflies around. We want records of all your sightings on Islay, Jura and Colonsay. Please send them to us using the species record forms available from this blog (see link at top of page), regular email or old-fashioned paper post. Remember to include grid references, numbers seen and any other comments. No sighting is too mundane!
