In over sixty years of natural history observations, I can honestly say that this summer, despite the mixture of weather which could actually be part of the reason, has been the best I can ever remember for garden butterflies. At around 10.30 this morning, there were eight Painted Ladies basking on the patio, too many to count on the Buddleia blossom spikes, along with several Peacocks, one sole Red Admiral ( poorer than usual year for them so far ) plenty of Large, Small and Green Viened Whites ~ all most welcome to see.
