I visited a new butterfly park today with Dianne at New ferry on the Wirral.The site is owned by the Cheshire wildlife trust who have transformed the site over the years from some railway sidings just off Bebington railway station.For further information on the site http://www.cheshirewildlifetrust.org.uk/reserves/new-ferry-butterfly-park.
TWENTY SIX SPECIES OF BUTTERFLY HAVE BEEN RECORDED AT THE PARK
Anyway we had a good walk round and what a cracking little reserve they have established over the years and the volunteers were really friendly and helpful regarding what species of butterfly were around.
