Southam scheme to provide habitat for rare butterfly


The caterpillar of the endangered Small Blue butterfly only feeds on kidney vetch plants. These were planted along both sides of Southam bypass by volunteers in 2006. They are now flowering and it's hoped will soon be colonised by Small Blue butterflies.
