Interesting, thanks. I hope it will be dry one of the days, otherwise I won't get to count much.
You're welcome, and here's an article in David Attenborough calls for help as butterflies face worst year ever -

Yes it must be such a poor year for them all, they just haven't had a chance poor things. I also noticed loads of bumble bees early on now so few :'(
Gosh come to think of it I have actually only seen one, yes one single butterfly so far this year :o :'(
& that was much earlier in the year.
I haven't seen lady birds either.
And I spend as much time as possible outside in the garden, at the allotment etc so really should have seen masses more of both of them xjane
