A better June for butterflies

I'd been thinking that it had been a much better year for butterflies than last year, all that fine Spring weather must have had some effect. So I had a look at my records. And it has been.

(The numbers are for number of sightings, not number of butterflies, I've only had a quick dip in the stats.)

Number of butterfly sightings recorded

Number of species seen

Year-on-year figures are looking similarly more positive.

I'm only a casual observer so this isn't a definitive sample but it looks encouraging.
