News of a new publication:
Butterflies of Hertfordshire By Andrew Wood
Butterflies of Hertfordshire and Middlesex was published in November 2016. Copiously illustrated with colour photographs taken in the two counties, it provides the first in-depth account of butterflies found in our area for almost 30 years. You can order this beautiful and informative book at the special introductory price of only £19.99 (saving £14 on the cover price) until Easter 2017.
It includes present-day and historic distribution maps for all 34 resident and migrant species recorded in recent years, together with an analysis of trend data. Its 272 pages also provide an expert evaluation of changing rural and urban landscapes and their impact on butterfly populations since the 1980s. Descriptions of more than 50 publicly accessible ‘top spots’ for butterflies are accompanied by maps and other information on visiting them.
The author, Andrew Wood, is records collator for Butterfly Conservation’s Hertfordshire and Middlesex Branch and the Hertfordshire recorder for butterflies. His expertise results from a lifelong enthusiasm observing, recording and writing about butterflies and moths.
Butterflies of Hertfordshire and Middlesex is published by HNHS with the welcome support of Butterfly Conservation's Hertfordshire and Middlesex Branch. The main chapters cover:
• Butterflies and the environment
• Recording butterflies
• Butterflies recorded since 2010
• Former residents
• Releases and accidental escapes
• Erroneous records
• Places to see butterflies
Everyone interested in seeing and appreciating butterflies in Hertfordshire and Middlesex – or in understanding their ecology at a time of significant habitat and climatic change.
