UK butts 98

[nickbowles at My-Email.co.uk]

These are my feelings about the year (so far) and its efect on butterflies in the UK.  They are subjective feelings and the categories are a bit 'loose'.  Well, very loose I suppose.
There is no entry for species that I'm not sure about.  I would like data on them.

I would be grateful for any comments   - don't feel shy to agree.   As if!
