Thanks William. They used to be a garden butterfly, never see them now.

I saw a Holly Blue today. The mild weather had fooled one that spring had arrived.

Blimey that's late! Might be worth logging with your local butterfly conservation group

Good spot JS, Not much about here.

I'm delighted to report the first butterfly sighting in my garden this year. It was a Brimstone. They're usually one of, if not, the earliest on the wing.

That's good Jack, I have seen a few out and about but nothing in the garden yet...

Good stuff Jack, like Snappy, I've seen a couple of Brimstone whilst driving but nothing in the garden, and yesterday managed a Red Admiral pic whilst I was out in Weymouth

Well done JS, still waiting to see my first of the year, either out and about or the garden.

On my way back from a walk this morning, came across Peacock. Darn thing would not play ball though, and stay still long enough.
