00:00Experts say butterfly numbers could be set for a big boost this year as people are being invited
00:06to take part in the annual Big Butterfly Count. The event asks the public to spend 15 minutes
00:12counting butterflies and moths before sharing what they find. Experts say that warm and dry
00:18weather has helped some species to appear in more areas, while long-term declines still remain a
00:24concern. They say gardens and green spaces can provide important habitats for wildlife.
00:29The survey gives communities the chance to support research and to understand how butterfly
00:35populations are changing. People across the UK can take part and help record sightings during
00:41this year's butterfly count.
