There are six species that show a declining trend: large skipper, small tortoiseshell, ringlet, map, gatekeeper and Essex skipper.
Four species are increasing: red admiral, speckled wood, common brimstone and European peacock.
The other species show a stable (5 species) or uncertain trend (6 species).
