    I've seen a couple more here ( SW UK ) - surprised you haven't yet seen anything @B3 - perhaps they are all down here enjoying the G7 lot ?

    There's been a Small Copper around here yesterday and today.

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    A few small blue and regular,  though not numerous, cabbage whites. I have seen the odd other kind, but one every now and then, and fleeting enough to be unsure of ID.

    More bees and damselflies than I have ever seen before though, by some considerable margin.

    One damsel fly investigating the fig tree. Plenty of bees. Just no butterflies. Maybe they see me coming.

    Speckled woods in abundance, small whites, one red admiral, couple of orange tips, one brimstone (had them earlier in the year), a couple of peacocks.

    Hardly any down here at the moment, they seem to have disappeared. Even the moths aren't in evidence at night either, and going off thread no bats, what is going on?

    Certainly seen very few around this year.  So far, seen more holly blues than anything else.  Just started seeing red admirals and cinnabar moths in the last week or two, and one speckled wood, and that's about all!

    This rain will put them off even longer.
