Hello and Welcome....

 Welcome to the first edition of my new Blog celebrating the butterflies, moths and general flora and fauna of Leicestershire and Rutland.

Here I hope to share details of sightings of butterflies in the county, plus any general information and discussion topics relating to butterflies and our local wildlife. For this reason I would welcome any input from readers. Please feel free to let me know of any significant sightings you've made, any topics you would like to discuss and also any questions you would like answering.

Hopefully we can raise the profile of our local Lepidoptera.

Best regards,

Richard
