By individual Vice County (quicker) or All of Yorkshires five Vice Counties.
Pick by year or range of years from 2000 to 2021 (smaller the range faster the response)

Click on a grid square to display the grid reference, site name and the names of the species recorded and the number recorded in the chosen time period.
Species lost and gained in a grid square are also displayed.
Overlays can be selected to display different base maps, from Satellite, Topographical to Street. A 10Km grid can be displayed along with each of the VC’s with a mask. A number of priority habitat classes are also available as layers.
The presence of a record in a grid square does not imply that the site has public access. A number of our species are found on private land and we have been granted permission to go and record the presence of the butterflies. Please check before you enter a site that you have right of way to access.
