Nice one Snappy.. seen a couple, but not photographed this year... yet
Funnily enough was just looking at some of last years pics of where I'd been last May, and snapped one at Radipole on the 25th! 11th was a butterfly day, so if the weather brightens up I may go hunting after Mrs PB's appointment this morning

Thanks PB, I have seen just the two. They appeared for a few minutes and then were gone... I saw quite a lot of butterflies on the wing yesterday, it should be good. Hope Mrs PB is mending quickly.

Thanks Snappy, today's the day we find out if the bones have started healing properly, or if it'll be an op with pins etc.
Weather is 70% chance of rain (and it is dribbling at the mo) so I'm not that hopeful of butterflies lol

Not seen one this year so far. Nice one Snappy.

Very good snappy. I'm still waiting to see my first one of the year.
