http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/index.php reports it's turning into a 
bumper year:

"Many members are reporting sightings of Painted Lady across the country 
- with the greatest densities in the south currently. These regular 
migrants have exceptional years where they can turn up almost anywhere 
in the British Isles - and this year is turning out to be such a year!"

Talking of which we think we saw a pair of Brimstones engaged in some 
sort of courtship dance today, but that was on Quy Fen.
