Feed time in our garden

Apparently people with Buddleia in their garden are reporting very few butterflies this year. Have you seen many? We don't have one but there's one next door and don't see many. Worrying.

We had a mouse on our bird feeder the other day then the wife saw it sat on a strawberry plant scoffing the fruit. Minutes later she saw it again... in the beak of a magpie! Nature eh?
 
looks like a Comma erimus

we have a white buddleia not as far on as yours, so not much on it today, too bloody windy

Not as many as last year though, usually our buddleia (trust me to mispell it) is brimming with butterflies
