Thanks Trevor,
I certainly did get plenty of shots. I love your last female OT on dandelion shot.

Trevor kindly invited me back so I could see the Cuckoo trail on a sunnier day. We saw OTs male and female, Speckled Woods, Small White, GVW, Large White, Red Admirals, Brimstone, Hollies and a Comma. My target was open winged OT which I got. I was keen to try for an early GH so Trevor kindly showed...

Thanks Trevor , Dave and David. It certainly is a good time of year.

Trevor kindly showed me round the cuckoo trail today in mixed weather. It was wonderful to see the large selection of spring butterflies including Holly Blues, Speckled Woods, Small and Green-veined Whites and thanks to Trevors spotting an orange-tip - thank you Trevor!

Thanks Chris!

How lucky you are to have an OT in the garden

Thanks David, Ben and Rob. It made it worthwhile going out.

I went to Mill Hill this afternoon and saw Peacocks, a Brimstone, a Speckled Wood and a white I didn’t get close enough to identify.

I was given this book at Xmas. It is fairly short and has beautiful drawings of Painted Ladies.
I learned they have ears at the base of their wings.
Quite a lot about what was known historically and now about migration.

Yes the colour compliments the LTBs

More beautiful shots. I wish I had been there too!

Spectacular indeed!

Thanks Dave,
I think we were a little lucky with this one.

Thank you Wurzel, it was quite sedentary probably due to the low temp.
Thanks David - yes very good to see 3 Walks chasing each other.
Thanks Paul, good to see you too ! Thank you for you spotting skills and letting me know I hadn’t missed anymore - always frustrating to have to leave early.

I went to Lancing this morning. It was chilly when I arrived and at one point I could see my breath. Later it warmed up and Paul arrived shortly followed by the long-tailed blue and then Lindsay. I saw 2 long-tailed blues before I had to go . Also seen were Walls, Red Admirals, Speckled Woods , a Co...

Good work with the Painted Ladies!

I like your top photo particularly nice blue sky reflecting the current weather

You have certainly got a good selection of butterflies in your garden. I like your last Holly Blue shot!

Love those context shots and good to see them on a tree
