Jonathan Bradley is an academic, businessman and published poet who has written on butterflies for various magazines, including The Countryman, This England, and Atropos magazine.

His long-standing passion for butterflies was inspired by walks in the countryside with his now-adult children when they were young.

He has a strong commitment to conserving butterflies and their environments.

He lives with his wife Harriet near Bristol, where they are lucky to have many butterflies visiting their garden.
