Big Butterfly Count 2023: My standout species

As another fabulous three weeks of counting in a vitally important citizen science project approaches its end, I have been reflecting on the many Big Butterfly Counts I have done over the past few weeks. Below are some of the key species I saw with a few comments.

Red Admiral

Where else could I start? This long time favourite butterfly of mine has grabbed the headlines and taken the count by storm with the sheer numbers of them around. It has been fascinating to see the unusually high numbers at this time of year for me, with it being more notable if it was a day I didn't see one than did in the butterfly count a species I might usually see in two or three of my Big Butterfly Counts in a year. Personally it has made me so happy to see so many and really struck to the core of how I fell in love with this charismatic species with some glorious times watching them, key moments in an amazing butterfly year I've had generally. I took the first two pictures in this photoset of Red Admirals at one of the most memorable counts I did this year at Egleton, Rutland Water at the start and on a recent evening at Lakeside Country Park. It also personifies the importance of the count with the indicator of climate change these numbers are with more now overwintering here. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66395590

Summer stalwarts: Meadow Brown and Gatekeeper

I have just for fun actually just created two leaderboards out of all my counts this year so far, one overall and one for Lakeside Country Park where I did the most counts. Unsurprisingly Meadow Brown topped both with Gatekeeper third behind Small White overall and second at Lakeside. Where I saw less of their fellow key summer species Marbled White and Ringlet compared to previous years which in the ever shifting seasons perhaps emerged too early and their shorter seasons were waning and ceased here during the count, this pair have been ever present again with me seeing some very high numbers of them on counts. The usual passing of the baton I see where I go from seeing mostly Meadow Browns to mostly Gatekeepers on counts towards the end of it didn't really happen this year as both were high throughout, perhaps due to the Gatekeeper's notable early emergence this year too. I have felt really connected to these colourful butterflies during the three weeks and the Big Butterfly Count wouldn't be the same without them. It's been my best Big Butterfly Count for getting photos of the species included I think and I took the third and fourth in this set of Gatekeeper and fifth of Meadow Brown all at Lakeside.

The white butterflies: Small, Large and Green-veined

The white butterflies in the count have been ever present in my contributions also, with Small White like in 2021 for me really challenging the Meadow Brown and Gatekeeper for the top spots with so many seen. The elegant and alluring Green-veined White was one I notably saw more of in the count this year and I very much enjoyed doing so, taking the sixth and seventh pictures in this photoset of some at Lakeside. Large White is something I see less than I might think generally and I enjoyed some sightings of them during the count.

Speckled Wood

A surprise package this year for me, I have been very happy to observe a fair few of these intricately marked and joyful butterflies during the count this year, another that was more present for me than usual. I took the eighth picture in this photoset of one at Lakeside during the count.

Six-spot Burnet

Onto day flying moths included in the count now and before the count arrived I felt as though I was seeing more of this gorgeous moth the species that first got me into moths back in 2010 this year, but that's something easy to say whilst in the grip of their season. But whilst their season waned during it Big Butterfly Count proved that a bit for me with a high amount seen especially at Lakeside. It was a pleasure to see these dashing moths many times, I took the ninth picture in this photoset of one at Lakeside.

Jersey Tiger moth

Finally it's a quality over quantity moment as on Monday I was over the moon to spot the superb Jersey Tiger moth in the tenth picture in this photoset at Lakeside. It was only the second time I've ever seen this species and first during the Big Butterfly Count days. It was an amazing moment in my moth year getting a great view of it. But there is a notable point for quantity too as amazingly only days into the count I'd seen all of the Big Butterfly Count species in one of my counts apart from a Jersey Tiger. It was improbable I'd spot one given I'd only seen one before, but I did and for the first time ever it means I've every species at least once during my run of doing counts which feels nice.

I would do a highly commended list but fear I would end up saying all of the other species so thought I would say I was so happy to see every species and a few more for quality and quantity really made an impression on me this year. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed contributing to this amazing project again and sharing what I saw.

01/08/23-Wasp spider, butterflies and other insects at Lakeside Country Park at lunch time

Photos in this set are of: 1 and 2. A sensational wasp spider which I was elated to see, such a delicate and beautiful spider. It was wonderful to watch it pulse in its web and marvel at seeing it. This is the first of this sought after spider I've ever seen, and one I had really wanted to see. Something bizarre happened too as I recall in late summer 2021 we saw online someone had a photo of a wasp spider at Lakeside which I didn't manage to see when looking after. But where I saw it today, in the meadow by the north eastern kissing gate entrance and beside the allotments, was a suitable long grassed area of the site I thought of as a potential place that person might have seen it. And today I wasn't gonna walk that way but changed my route last minute, simply because I was drawn to that bit of meadow. As I changed course the thoughts about the wasp spider that person saw sprang to mind, and as if by magic I saw this one. 3, 4 and 5. Just before seeing the spider, dazzling Gatekeeper on fleabane. As I walked in doing a Big Butterfly Count I was amazed when the fleabane caught my eye in flashes of sun and then I noticed a Gatekeeper, and then another and so on and this patch of flowers was teeming with them. This is always powerful to see in the count. 6 and 9. Common Blue I saw a notable amount of these in the count getting great views. 7 and 10. Meadow Brown I enjoyed seeing these too, seeing both them and Gatekeeper with open wings on a walk was quite something. 8. Brown Argus, I loved seeing a few of these too the blues seem to be doing well here of late.

There was also a notable amount of Speckled Woods in the count here with Large White, Small White and just before getting to Lakeside out the front a Red Admiral enjoyed. Six-spot Burnet moth was good to see too and underneath the wasp spider was a grasshopper. I also liked seeing a Common Red Soldier beetle.
