Any other parts of the country suffering from lack of butterflies so
far here in the west of Scotland some cabbage whites and occasional
Red Admiral but little else in spite of lots of Buddleia around
Elizabeth in Renfrewshire, Scotland.

I've seen very few butterflies this year in Leics until my buddleias came
into flower. Now, on sunny days, I get Peacocks, Small Tortoiseshells, Red
Admirals and Commas- which is what I would expect from having an extensive
nettle patch ;-)
Both Large and Small Whites drop in too and the occasional Green veined
White.
I also get Speckled Woods regularly but they don't seem to visit the
buddleias.
