Join us for a FREE event about butterflies at BTO Headquarters in Thetford, Norfolk! The focus of the day will be on the Wider Countryside Butterfly Survey and butterfly Identification practice. The event will include a mixture of indoor talks and outdoor activities. Weather permitting, we will try and spend as much time out in the field as possible. The talks will take place inside The Nunnery and the training will take place around the grounds of the Nunnery and towards Nunnery Lakes nature reserve. Lunch, hot and cold drinks will be provided. Booking is essential for this event as numbers are limited to 30 participants. Please note that unfortunately, dogs are not allowed at this event. Please contact the Breeding Bird Survey Team at BTO Headquarters on bbs@bto.org for more information about this event.
