Welcome to Butterfly Conservation in Somerset and Bristol

18th May 2020

IMPORTANT: Following the Prime Minister’s address on 10th May, and subsequent official guidance, there have been significant changes to the restrictions brought in to reduce the spread of coronavirus

In England only, it is now possible for butterfly and moth recording to resume for people who are not shielding or self-isolating. Recorders must, at all times, continue to observe social distancing guidelines, including that you cannot record in groups of more than two (excluding members of your own household) and ensuring that you remain at least 2 metres away from anyone outside your household. If you have coronavirus symptoms, or if you or any of your household are self-isolating, you should stay at home.

More information on recording during the current circumstances can be found on the Butterfly Conservation website .
