I'll go with that then ......

..... at least 7 or 8 little gatekeepers and big white ones.

I have seldom seen Butterflies this year.

Due to the unusual phenomenon of bright sunshine I have more putative Gatekeepers this morning - and also a Peacock which was sunning itself on a pond rock .

For whatever reason it seems this year is a good year for Gatekeepers. Although I've had them in the past it was never with the frequency they've been appearing this year.

Lovely sunny day and first butterfly of the year visited albeit briefly.
I think it was a Peacock, yes, I'm pretty sure it was a Peacock .......
Anyway, it was wonderful to see

When the sun eventually appeared it turned out quite warm in the chateau garden. Cue the appearance of two Brimstones,one male,one female.

(Nuthatch is giving me graphics lessons )

Sometimes one can be too liberal with words and they won't even look that pretty.

A Brimstone feasts on a Bluebell this afternoon. My first Orange Tip of the year also turned up but was a little camera shy.

Lovely picture ,Bluebells and Butterflies are still sleeping up my way but I did see a big Bumble Bee today.
