We are fortunate to work with Butterfly Conservation, the British charity devoted to saving butterflies, moths and their habitats throughout the UK, and doubly fortunate that the charity’s Chair of Council is Barnes resident and good Friend of Barnes Common, Karen Goldie-Morrison.
Weekly transects are carried out in season by a friendly team of experienced and passionate volunteers. We are grateful to Karen for her experience and expertise, and to photographers Andrew Wilson, Penny Smallshire, and others for their regular (and stunning) wildlife photographic contributions.
Andrew and Karen recently put together a sheet with pictures of all 30 butterfly species that are seen on Barnes Common through the year, establishing Barnes as one of the best places to see butterflies in central London. You can download a printable PDF version here: https://barnescommon.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Butterflies-on-the-Common-July-2023-for-print-3.pdf
We are also extremely grateful to our team of volunteers who give their time regularly over 30 weeks each year to carry out this vital work. Why not visit our related links (below) to find out more?
