Hello Serhiy, how are you? Have the terrible happenings in Ukraine had an impact on you? My heart goes out to all those people. How are you still managing to monitor the butterflies? Well done for all your efforts.

Dear Pauline,

please give me where to submit for a small grants up to 500 Euros for next topics

I'd like to submit a small grant up to 500 Euros for one trip for continuing butterfly monitoring of local wetland and highland endangered species in the East Carpathians Ukrainian part in summer 2023.

Target species are
Boloria aquilonaris
Coenonympha tullia
Boloria eunomia
Lycaena helle
Erebia manto

If you have no any possibility to support please redirect this message to proper organisation or private person

Thank you

Hello All,

As it is the season of goodwill, is there any way we can help Serhiy raise the money he needs for his one monitoring trip? I would be willing to make a donation towards helping him fund his trip next summer. Maybe other members of the group would consider it as well?

I am guessing he would need to set up a Go Fund Me page or something similar. I have made donations in the past but would have no idea how to set it up. I do not use Facebook or Twitter either.

Best wishes,
Sarah.

Serhiy, the EBG Branch of Butterfly Conservation awards annual bursaries for research and monitoring projects.

Please take a look here: http://www.european-butterflies.org.uk/about.html

If you click on the link it will give you further information, but for your convenience I have copied and pasted it below:

European Butterflies Group Annual Research Bursary

Butterfly Conservation’s European Butterflies Group would like to promote the study of European
butterflies and therefore propose to offer annual European Butterflies Group research bursaries
(normally of €600) to assist with travel and other expenses.

Applicants would need to submit a short project proposal and an estimate of overall cost in a
maximum of 1000 words and send it by email to info@european-butterflies.org.uk together with
the email addresses of two referees.

The bursaries will be open to citizens of any country in the Council of Europe. Although there is no
upper age limit for applicants, the scheme has been drawn up with younger candidates in mind. We
are hoping to help beneficiaries start or enhance their career in conservation.

Payments would normally be made against a standard BC travel claim form with receipts. In some
circumstances part payment would be made in advance. Successful applicants would need to agree
in advance to produce a report of their findings.

This is particularly suited to surveys of rare and threatened species i.e. those with a Red List
classification of NT, EN or VU and a restricted range. There is a list of these on the
http://www.european-butterflies.org.uk website under species, download the file:
EuropeanButterflies.xls

Collaborative projects with partners in Europe would be welcome. Only projects within Europe as
defined by the Council of Europe (rather than EU) would be eligible. The European Butterflies Group
committee would review the applications and select one or successful applicants. We would expect
a short report including copies of records of all butterflies recorded. We would also expect
acknowledgement of the bursary in any publications: including specific mention of both European
Butterflies Group and Butterfly Conservation. The report would also be circulated to relevant
partners within Butterfly Conservation Europe.

An example might be ‘I want to go and help the local recorder survey some wetland habitats in X for
False Ringlet Coenonympha oedippus one of Europe’s most threatened butterflies. I will drive to X
and camp for a week in July. The sites were surveyed in 1995 but most have not been surveyed
since. I will record the location all of these butterflies seen using a GPS and will submit a short
report. Petrol, ferries and camp site fees will be about €800. I am looking for a job in conservation
and have studied ecology at University. I also do voluntary work for my local wildlife organisation. I
am 23.’

Hi David,

Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed, helpful response to Serhiy's request. I am sure he will be very grateful.

Butterflies are so important to me that I felt I wanted to help him in some way. I just didn't know how.

Best wishes,
Sarah.

...Polyommatus amandus has most recently been assessed for The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in 2009. Polyommatus amandus is listed as Least Concern...

Good to know there isn't concern over this species, Serhiy. Amandus is one of my favourite Blues, and whilst it crops up regularly in France when I'm there, I never see large numbers of them.

"How many others' life-long interest was sparked by Brooke Bond picture cards? They came free with PG Tips tea - the butterfly cards arriving in 1963."

[jonhd]

That's a +1 for me, regarding the Brooke Bond cards/album. IIRC I worked very hard on persuading my mum to buy way more tea than we needed, and that's when I first developed a caffeine habit. (For an impoverished 'nipper', back in the 60's, it was that album and the Observer's Book of Butterflies, that formed my entire butterfly library.)

Thanks for the memories, Serhiy.

Best Wishes, Jon

Best Wishes, Jon

Exactly the same for me, those two, Jon! Fascinating to look back on... The Brooke Bond card described the Comma as a "...rare butterfly..." and the one for the Wall said it was "...very common..."

Cheers, Serhiy, for bringing it all back and getting me to dust off those old publications.

Dave

[David M]

Aah....happy days! These collectables were an intrinsic part of my childhood. I don't recall these particular butterfly cards, but a deep smell of tea leaves instantly takes me back to the 1970s and the excitement of seeing what was inside the box.

Hello Serhiy ,
You beat me to it with Orange Underwing Serhiy ...........been looking for them myself locally (Orlestone forest ,Kent ) for a few days now .......but no luck ...............need a few warmer days !
Regards Allan.W. ps ; nice picture by the way !

[David M]

That's one of the earlier sightings in the years you've been recording this moth, Serhiy. I presume conditions in your part of Europe are rather more benign than those we are experiencing here in the UK right now?

[Allan.W.]

Hello Serhiy ,
An update on our local Orange Underwings ,I had 3 brief flight views in my local wood (Orlestone forest ,Kent ,England ) this morning in fairly warm but breezy conditions .I find that when they first emerge they tend to stay up pretty high and out of camera reach.
Just to confuse things a bit ,this woodland also has Light Orange underwing.

May 2023

I want to go as a local recorder for survey of a butterfly grassland indicator in Bukivtsovo Butterfly Monitoring Camp (georeferences are N48.82503 E22.67849, 465 m) for Orange Tip (Anthocaris cardamines) one of Europe’s butterfly grassland indicator butterfly. I will drive to the camp for a week in May 2023. The sites were surveyed in 2022 but it needs to be surveyed again in the frame of long term research. I will record number of adults and submit a short report. Petrol, food and camp site fees will be about €755.
