Butterflies in all National Trust Properties

Most National Trust properties are rich in butterflies during the summer months. Unlike birds that have breeding plumage, there are no seasonal variations in the butterflies throughout the year, apart from some second broods looking a bit more vibrant. However, as the year progresses butterflies will start to fade and some can end up looking quite tired and tatty.
