This year (2009), the Lincolnshire Branch of Butterfly Conservation celebrated its 25th Anniversary. To mark this special occasion the Branch organised a series of events on Saturday 22nd August. This began with a Butterfly Walk around Covenham Reservoir, followed by a barbecue and then a Moth night at the home of Mick and Christine Speight.

Many thanks to Mick and Christine Speight for hosting this event at their home.
