Butterfly Recording Schemes
The UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme assesses changes in butterfly abundance across a network of over 750 sites, by a combination of weekly 'transect counts' and single visit 'timed' counts.

Butterflies for the New Millennium covers the whole British Isles. It assesses the distribution of each butterfly species. Anyone can submit records of sightings, whether from back gardens or mountain tops.
