I have seen six or seven this year so far, just being out and about not specifically looking (I only saw one last year) - outnumbered for me only by painted ladies (obviously)the early brimstones, orange tips and recent white butterflies.

Of the top of my head of other species I have seen:
Two common blue, two brown argus, one small heath, 4 peacocks and a large skipper.

Oh and lots of dingy skippers but then i went looking for them!
