We have definitely had a lot more tortoiseshells in the past, but I understand that the wet summer last year hit them particularly hard. Usually we get a decent number of whites, red admirals and peacocks too - I did see a peacock today though!
I saw a news story recently saying that David Attenborough reckons we have fewer butterflies this year than any other time in his whole lifetime. :-/
