  i find they do not sit anywhere long enough to be counted.
  
  had a beautiful one in my garden the other day, followed it from flower to flower, couldn't get a pic of it though.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  Plenty of bees around but very few butterflies, not even on the buddleia which is known for attracting the butterflies.
