We apologise to members for the delay in getting out our newsletter.

We are all volunteers, and other things get in the way sometimes! We hope you find it worth waiting for – it can be found on our Newsletter page as Edition 106

Articles include:

• The Northern Five (butterflies)
• Steve Brown reminding us that recording common butterflies is worthwhile
• A piece about the very environmentally friendly Wyke Farm in West Dorset
• How to do timed butterfly walks
• Descriptions of field trips to Corfe Barrows Nature Park, Kingcombe Meadows and Durlston Country Park

Further apologies from me, Lyn Pullen, for the lack of page numbers in the printed edition – the newsletter is produced using Corel Draw, which is very unhappy about showing page numbers when one is working in facing page layout; I usually go through and put them in manually, but omitted to do so this time. I’m going to try using Scribus software next time, so goodness knows what trouble that will get us into!
