Traditional Transects (Pollard Walks):
These transects form the core of the UKBMS with over 2000 different transects set up and visited in the first 30 years of the scheme (1976 onwards). New transect sites are added annually with well over a thousand now recorded annually. Named after Ernie Pollard who helped design and pilot the methodology with colleagues, these transect walks provide the highest quality data within the UKBMS as they are walked weekly during a 26-week period between 1st April and 29th September each year. This allows calculation of robust measurements of changes in butterfly populations for over 50 species and production of site level trends when sufficient years of data have been collected.
