This is an historic photo. Congratulations to William Brame (who took the photo) for realising this was a different white butterfly. Now confirmed by @chrisvanswaay as a Southern Small White - the first seen in England. As it is a female let's hope it has been laying eggs.

I haven't seen many Spot Sands at Chew, and they've all been in really difficult spots, apart from this one for five minutes yesterday...

Deeply saddened to hear of so many redundancies at @savebutterflies, most in front line butterfly+moth conservation. A huge loss of expertise just when needed. Also cessation of international work. Let’s hope their finances recover soon when so many species are in dire trouble

Managed bees can outcompete wild bees, causing their decline, yet proving this is challenging. Using Giannutri Island as an open-air laboratory, Pasquali et al. temporarily excluded honeybees,...
