Caldey Island is working together with ‘Butterfly Conservation’ to develop the estate’s unique mix of areas (woods, coastline, pastures) as an improved habitat for butterflies and moths.

It’s all part of an exciting project to preserve and enhance the island as a much-needed wildlife conservation area.

“We’ll soon be undertaking a programme to count and identify our resident moths and butterflies, as well as many of those varieties that use us as a staging post during their migrations,” said a spokesperson for Caldey.
