WEST MIDLANDS BRANCH, BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION

 

Note from the (new) Editor

Hello!

I must admit to feeling somewhat daunted when asked if I would take over from such an experienced editor as Margaret Vickery. It is inevitable that, with a change in editor, there is a change of style. Apart from page layout, I have pretty well confined editorial interference to spelling adjustments (few, including myself can apparently spell millennium!). I hope that everyone will bear with me until I get it right and overlook any errors that may have crept in. As always, articles, comments, letters or anything else you can think of are very welcome. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all contributors to this issue. Notes for contributors are on page 14.

My husband and I live in Harborne, some two miles from the centre of Birmingham. As a city- dwelling motorcar-phobe, much of my butterfly watching is carried out in the garden or on our nearby allotments. We visit our plots daily and logged 15 butterfly species this year; not bad within sight of the infamous Rotunda!
