Just find a place to do the survey like your garden or a local park or beauty spot and sit and record what you see in just 15 minutes; enter the results on line. You can download a form and identification chart from the website.
I took this photo in the garden last year - I think it is a Speckled Wood - we've not seen as many butterflies this year so far.
