Speckled wood butterflies were unknown around our Perthshire village until a few years ago. There was great excitement when we started spotting them. Now they are quite a common sight.
I noticed a downturn in butterfly abundance in 2024 and think numbers were badly affected when we had terrific downpours - individuals would need excellent shelter to avoid being knocked down.
