My Buddleia

[stevecurtis]

I have seen at least double the amount of Small Tortoiseshells in the garden this year, I did think it was down to my stinging nettle management but I guess not ,I would like to know what caused the decrease but im just pleased it was not permanent.

all the best Steve

There are unfortuinately very few Painted :adies around this year.
It is good, however, to see thet Small Torts are recovering

Picked up?! Full swing I'd say! Lovely selection.

I had my first Holly Blue today

Also a pair of Large White's & a Comma.

I'll be planting a few Buddleia in my new garden to ensure plenty of visitor's!

Mine has been open about a week and the only butterflies have been a red admiral, a small tortoiseshell and a large white. I did have a hummingbird hawkmoth though a couple of days ago, my first for about three years.
