A small yellow butterfly attracted my attention - not a Brimstone, too small, so I googled it.
The only one I could find which sort of looked like it was a Clouded Yellow but the description seemed a bit iffy, so I dunno

.
Anyway, it was small, it was yellow and it was a butterfly.

Saw a small blue butterfly six times and some cream coloured ones too in the garden.
I wish my wallchart showed them actual size.

I don't think she ever recorded that.

Now that's a shame. I'm sure we all hoped that you would provide the link to her singing the aria, 'Nessun dorma' whilst the world-renowned La Scala chorus as football hooligans gave us,
sotto voce, the immortal anthem, 'Who ate all the pies?'.
