If you previously participated in the survey from our old website (2016-2022) you will need to register again on this new site and create new log in details, your previous log in details will not work.

Thank you for your support and for joining again. Your previously entered records have been shared with data verifiers for Butterfly Conservation's national recording scheme and local datasets.

Note, when you sign up again (and within your Account edit settings) there is an option for requesting your old Garden Butterfly Survey records to be added into your new account. This option will be available until 31st March 2022 and after that date we will transfer data for those who have requested this with a matching email address. Your old records should appear in your new account later in spring 2022.
