My young Grandaughter was absolutely glued to this book last night. She was the quietest she has ever been and now wants to do nothing but look for butterflies and moths. The illustrations are a delight and make identification much easier than with some photographs.

The Butterfly Spotter’s Guide by Matthew Oates was a beautiful book and so useful I had to purchase it.
It is full of beautiful photos of butterflies, I just loved looking through this book especially as it is jammed packed with so much wonderful information on how to get more wildlife in your gardens, how to help the wildlife etc.

This small pocket book tells you everything you need to know about Britain’s butterflies. Whether you’re a beginner or an enthusiast, you will want to spot all of these winged wonders. A wonderful find.

Thank you NetGalley and Part of National Trust for my ARC.

This is a beautiful and useful book. I love that as well as the in-depth information on butterfly species it also has sections on how to spot them, how to photograph them and encouraging them to your garden. A must read for any nature lover.

I wish I were gifted this when I was a child.
This is an interesting and illustrated guide with useful information, and some cute surprises.
A book to share with your child and across generations.

Very informative book, explains all about butterflies and their habitats, lifespans, flight seasons and broods, courtship and mating, and explains what the purpose of the book is, following on with different butterlies and a bit about them and a picture for easy identification, and when and where is best to see them. I also love the addition at the bottom of the page where you can record where and when the reader saw this particular butterfly. There are also odd pages throughout the butterfly sections giving hints and tips eg. photographing butterflies, which is a nice edition.
Easy to follow and beautifully clear illustrations. I would love to be considered for any hard copies of any nature / gardening books, as I live out in a village in royal wootton bassett and there is a multitude of wildlife here (and my wonderful garden birds) so would love to make some reels. Thank you
