BUTTERFLIES

[Germain]

No Brimstones spotted yet but 2 spiralling dark butterflies outside my daughters today - I think peacocks but couldn't get a good look as was nap trapped by new grandchild

Ohh, I bet that was a hardship Cin, nap-trapped lol
My grand total of butterfly pics this year is 2 peacocks, all the Brimstones have been flying, and mostly whilst I've been driving too

Is it too early for your wood and cryptic wood whites? They were Shropshire, weren't they?

[Germain]

Too early - wouldn't expect them until May

Gosh and I were on Prees Heath on Tuesday - no butterflies but the bird song was fabulous and there were quite a few with beaks of nesting material.

Good spot PB, did manage to get a video of a peacock yesterday. Not a good pose, but will keep it for now, and see if I can get a better clip.
