I thought a chart derived from an analysis of records might help me to understand the 2024 butterfly season in Bedfordshire. #Bedfordshire #butterflies

That's a great effort. Looks like the national trend, a poor year overall. Multi-brooded species usually did better in mid-summer when the weather was favourable. Similar pattern here in Suffolk, with some differences.
Our "whites" had a relatively poor second brood, but they had an extra peak as a result of a third brood and/or migration, which brought up the year's totals. Here's Large White's weekly counts.
