Booking is now open for the ever-popular annual National Butterfly Recorders' Meeting. It will take place at Birmingham Central Library (see www.birmingham.gov.uk/centrallibrary for a map) on Saturday 6th March 2010. The National Butterfly Recorders' Meeting provides feedback about both butterfly recording and monitoring undertaken through the Butterflies for the New Millennium and UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme projects (including the launch of the Wider Countryside Butterfly Survey). Butterfly population trends for 2009 will be unveiled for the first time at the meeting! In addition, we will hear from guest speakers about exciting butterfly projects making use of recording and monitoring data.
Anyone interested in butterflies is welcome; you don't have to be an active recorder.

If you would like to book a place please contact Iam Middlebrook at Butterfly Conservation (01929 400209 or info@butterfly-conservation.org) providing your name, address and
We would like to make an amendment to the 2008 report concerning the values presented in the ?Mean flight date? column of Tables 7a and 7b on pages 34 and 35 in the Feature article on Butterfly Phenology. These values actually relate to the average date of the start of flight periods rather than the mean flight dates. The amended tables, with the correct mean flight dates, are now posted as pdf?s here on the website and hard copies will be available at the Annual Recorder?s Meeting in Birmingham on the 6th March 2010. We would like to apologise for this error and also take the opportunity to thank those readers who alerted us to this issue, your feedback is greatly appreciated.
