butterfly bonanza

There has been a serious lack of butterflies this year, not only in our garden, but nationally too. The butterfly Conservation are inviting people to take part in the Big Butterfly Count - it isn't too late to take part - you still have until the end of August to submit your findings.
Today, though, all our concerns seemed unfounded
Today I was in my garden surrounded by colour and noise, with butterflies everywhere I looked along with hoverflies and bees covering the marjoram and buddleia. I am sure many of you have been experiencing something similar to this.
