An area which was an old school field in Poole has been turned into a public open space by the Borough Council, complete with a wildlife area, large pond and a wetland area.

You can find it just off North Road, behind the Bournemouth and Poole College site. A local resident has set up a Facebook Page for people using the park.

Paul Cobb has sent us this lovely photo of a Peacock he found on a visit there and we have had reports there were numerous Brimstone butterflies visible as well. Peacock butterfly by Paul Cobb in Poole

We hope more butterflies will make use of the area later in the year, so if you live in the area, please visit the site when you can and report any butterfly sighting to us via our Sightings page.
