Just a reminder the Big Butterfly Count has started and you can send in any sightings up to 6th August. We have noticed an increase in numbers and species in the garden over the last week.
Photo 1 was taken by Mary on the 21st July using a Pixel 4a phone - a Green-veined White feeding on marjoram. This specimen has recently emerged as part of the summer brood.

Keep looking and, maybe, grow some marjoram and/or other herbs!
