Big Butterfly Count 10-12 Saturday July 27th

[Sally Eva]

it's the count which is big not the butterflies https://www.bigbutterflycount.org/ although one can but hope. The ride starts and finishes in Peckham Square (Peckham Library, Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5JR). Does Southwark have butterflies? It does, mostly in the parks and that's where this bike ride goes to look for them. Everyone welcome, especially juvenile lepidopterists who can count.

It's the usual easy-paced ride two-hour ride on mostly quiet streets and paths. The first stop will be in Peckham Rye Park, then across to Ruskin Park via the Greenway. Then Elam Street Open Space, Myatts Field, Kennington Park, Walworth Garden Farm and Burgess Park. There's more information about the count on their website (see first line)and the route map is here:
