The international City Nature Challenge 2023 ran from 28th April to 1st May. As part of the Liverpool City Region Nature Challenge, eleven wildlife recorders met at New Ferry Butterfly Park to learn how to identify some species and submit the records. The morning was chilly, so we mostly recorded plants, but in the afternoon the sun came out bringing with it bees, hoverflies and even a few butterflies.
