Butterfly Identification is our latest video
This presentation is aimed at new transect walkers as well as a refresher for the more experienced.
It takes a deep dive into the problem species and techniques you can use to improve your accuracy with lots of handy tips along the way.In particular we take the approach that not every butterfly lands conveniently so you can get a good look but the principles you can use to make the very best guess of species in flight.
Lastly we take a close look at the principles of the Pollard Walk with lots of tips and explanations on how we do it in practice.
