The British newspaper The Shropshire reports that a vandal by the name 
of Antony Barnett  has been convicted for damaging a site which is a 
nature reserve for a rare butterfly. The site, Prees Heath, is a reserve 
for the rare Silver-Studded Blue Butterfly (Plebejus argus) and is owned 
by the conservation organisation Butterfly Conservation which is the 
world's largest butterfly society.

The newspaper says "At Shrewsbury Magistrates' Court yesterday Antony 
Barnett, 71, of The Grove, Hodnet, was found guilty of causing criminal 
damage at the site on August 9 last year and ordered to pay £4,500 
compensation."
