- This week I get VERY stuck in the mud in search of THE SWALLOWTAIL BUTTERFLY! A big thank you to Adam Pimble for showing me around Ranworth Broad in Norfolk and helping me find the UK's largest butterfly!! Subscribe for more: bit.ly/1kPjJZL
"No 9 for 90 species is more closely associated with its Living Landscape than the swallowtail, which we have chosen to represent the Bure Valley Living Landscape" - Read on for more information about Living Landscapes and the 9 for 90.
Norfolk Wildlife Trust is the largest wildlife trust in the UK and 2016 marks their 90th birthday! To celebrate, Norfolk Wildlife Trust and Maddie are joining forces to create 9 videos for their #9for90 project. Each video will focus on one of the nine charismatic species chosen to represent Norfolk Wildlife Trust's nine Living Landscapes
But what is a Living Landscape?
Sadly the UK's wildlife is in decline but the wildlife trusts have an ambitious plan to help nature recover. Living Landscapes aim to return biodiversity to our countryside by restoring, reconnecting and recreating wild areas. New nature-rich habitats will be created, joining together surviving refuges to allow wildlife species to move more freely and expand their range and populations.
NWT has identified a number of areas where they will be focusing their efforts. These Living Landscape project areas have been selected to cover some of the key wildlife areas in Norfolk and other areas where there are opportunities to create new habitats!
Many thanks to the Heritage Lottery Fund for helping make this video series possible: www.hlf.org.uk

A huge thank you to Adam (for repeatedly pulling me out of the mud) and for finding such an amazing spot for the Swallowtail. Hope you enjoy!
I do enjoy your videos! 🐛🌱❤️
Always thought swallowtails where on the continent and not in England. 5 years in conservation and only just found this out, always finding new things with conservation, love it!
Always learning something new with your videos! You deserve so much your own tv show!
I didn't even know we got swallowtails in the UK! I remember when I was very little seeing a swallowtail migration over the south of France, it passed through the garden we were in. Totally overwhelmed by giant butterflies!
I....am...so...envious!
Well done you! The King (Queen?) of British butterflies, found only in Norfolk and you saw them.
Haha! Loved the Jurassic Park theme music you did there!
Wow.
When going out to catch butterflies I find that the best way to swing your net is to swish and flick.
Amazing! I've never seen a swallowtail but I've seen it in all my books. Also, new nickname: Muddy Maddie ;)
You rock Maddie!!
Thank you!
I love maddie moat because she is kind
love butterflies there so buetful!
In portugal she used to be more comon than nowadays, especially because of invasive plants (pampas grass, arundo donax, acacias eucaliptos, ipomea indica etc) especially on northwest).
Such beautiful butterflies, and such a shame they're now restricted to just a small area of Norfolk. I'm guessing this was back in late June/early July? Went looking for them last year but it was just a bit too late so only saw a couple from a long way off.
Fantastic video, Maddie! I'm curious why the pineapple smell given off by the caterpillars would do such a good job repelling birds - you'd think if anything it would make them seem more delicious...
I think the smell of parsley helps the eggs and caterpillars safe to predators. 😍
In the first split second of reading the title, my brain put the words together as "Maddie swallowed a butterfly."
hahahahaha!
Full disclosure: I just removed a comment from this thread because it was an extreme overshare. Please, Rapilol, keep these things to yourself in the future or, failing that, do share them with the world in your own thread and preferably in one where the person you're fantasizing over hasn't already commented themselves. It's kind of rude.
Milk parsley? I thought the ones in california when i was a child, ate anise or licorice plant that looked like the parsley.
I've never seen a swallowtail. I don't know if they live in the south midlands. Where I live, the number of butterflies has dropped dramatically this year. Even my buddleja isn't covered in butterflies; I haven't seen a tortoiseshell since the spring. Is it the same across the country? Could it be because of the weather earlier on this year?
We have tons of Red Admiral and Peacock Butterfliy Catterpillas on the Nettles. We had to stop people from clearing the Nettles or that would of been another lot of Butterflies wiped out. Yes Swallow Tails are in the Mids, I am just North of you. We definitely had them on Thistle Flowers few years back. The Buddlejas did look a bit empty last year but I think thats dwon to the winds blowing them to south eastern Europe. if we get the right winds we should have loads of butterflies this year. Butterflies like Red Admirals often fly thousands of miles when they migrate. We had a female Orange Tip laying eggs on the Hedge Garlic today.
@@1stBumbleBeeMaster British swallowtails only live on Norfolk Broads due to the milk parsley. Uk sometimes gets the Southern Swallowtail over from Europe. Certainly NONE have ever been recorded outside of Norfolk so not sure what you saw.
Ah, but did you find and rare Pokemon on the Broads? Hahaha!
These prestige areas are great, there's so much to see if you stop and look.
Don't they harvest the rushes for roofing thatch?
Yes they do! Good knowledge :-)
I have seen one before
Wait Maddie you own a CBeebies show?
