Branch Membership

The Somerset & Bristol Branch covers the ceremonial county of Somerset and the city and county of Bristol.

If you live in the region and are a member of Butterfly Conservation you automatically become a member of the Somerset and Bristol Branch.

First Sightings

The first sightings report shows the first confirmed sighting of butterflies in Somerset and Bristol sent to the Branch Butterfly Records Coordinator.

If you think you have seen a butterfly which could be a first sighting of that species for the current year (outside & active), please submit your sighting via iRecord or send your record with the species name, date seen & site name/location to the Branch Butterfly Records Coordinator.  

The first sightings information is on our branch page on the Butterfly Conversation website.

Arion Magazine

Our branch magazine, The Arion is produced and distributed to our members three times a year. 

Sue, our editor is always looking for content  - so please get in touch if you would like to contribute.

The 2022 guided walks programme for Butterfly Conservation members  will run between May & August. 

The full schedule has been published in Arion (issue 121) which has been emailed to branch members.
