Butterflies - where are they?

No, I've not seen as many this year in my normal routine, although I did go on a short canal trip in May and saw a lot of orange tips along the route.

Which country do you live in, dustyangel?.

I’ve seen more this year than for the last few years! Admittedly a different country and obviously different conditions but I was thinking that at least the intense heat suits someone.

I have seen very few. I’m hoping more will come along now that the buddleia bushes are starting to flower. We have quite a few house martins, no swallows.
