Threatened woodland butterfly, The Pearl-Bordered Fritillary, one of the UK's rarest butterflies, has spread its wings again in the woodlands of East Sussex and Kent where it previously became extinct. A conservation project by the Forestry Commission, Butterfly Conservation and the RSPB is helping to secure the future of this woodland butterfly.
The Pearl-Bordered Fritillary butterfly, with white 'pearls' on the edge of its hindwing, has been seen in record numbers this year, following successful reintroductions by the Forestry Commission and the RSPB.
Like the three little pigs, a house martin’s mud hut is not all it’s cracked - up to be. But what some of the visiting birds raising their young in the UK this summer would love, are your empty ice cream or margarine tubs. The tubs make ideal homes for breeding house martins when theirs are damaged by the weather, says the RSPB.
