There don't seem to be as many butterflies of any kind around the last few
years. I've seen 1 red admiral this year and had my first ever sighting of
a
large skipper in my garden this week

Ages since I've seen one.
Bye alice W in Glos

Can't remember the last time I saw one. Are they in decline?

Very sadly, it seems so,
I live in North DEvon, and have made my garden for butterflies,
and general wildlife, I have been seeing fewer butterflies each year
