Dear both: thanks very, very much for looking at this. It is much appreciated...

Super-Sorry to bother but I have been checking through a set of Falkland Islands' Stamps which includes The Queen of the Falklands Fritillary (Issoria cytheris). My problem is that there is also a Cytheris Fritillary (Yramea cytheris) and they seem to be interchangeable! I have been going backwards ...

David M. Thanks...

Wurzel: thanks. Looking on Twitter, I see that a few Green-Veined White Butterflies have already been reported: the earliest 23 March in Somerset...

Back in the fray after an enforced lay-off. Some of the Butterflies seen yesterday on the Crossness Nature Reserve and Surrounding area (SE London): orangetipcrossness28march2019.jpg greenveinedwhitecrossness28march2019.jpg smallwhitecrossness28march2019.jpg speckledwoodcrossness28march2019.jpg comm...

David M. it was supposed to be Sunny today and it sort of was. But I hadn't been expecting the, beyond Brisk, Wind...

Sounds absolutely wonderful...

David M.: thanks very much. We had not intended to venture forth yesterday but a Burst of Sunshine prompted us to hoof it to nearby Bostall Heath in the hopes of a Bee or something: well, anything really. I really wasn't expecting a Butterfly but was super-pleased to see this Small Tortoiseshell vis...

Goldie: thanks. Yes: Match Sticks...

I must have seen them before but it had never really registered that Comma Butterflies have white legs: until yesterday viz.
Sadly: the Sunny Spell seems to be over.

The Bank Vole: a dear looking Soul...

David: yes, the flowers are very pretty. Not too high up thankfully...

Wurzel: thanks...

Neil: thanks very much...

Wurzel: thanks. David M.: Cherry Plum I think. Back out again today and saw our first Speckled Wood Butterfly of 2019: on Bostall Heath. And then down through Lesnes Abbey Woods to Lesnes Abbey Park where we managed to see a passing Brimstone Butterfly, a Comma Butterfly viz. commaonelesnesabbeyruin...

Thanks: yes they are indeed out and about locally. I managed to see eight Commas locally today, including these Guys: commatwocrossness25february2019.jpg commaonecrossness25february2019.jpg Also my first Peacocks (two of 'em), including this Guy: peacockcrossness25february2019.jpg And a couple of Re...

Wurzel: thanks... PS... I spent the last couple of years collecting local records but I'm a Free Agent again now...

To the East Wickham Open Space (the LB of Bexley in SE London) in search of a Comma Butterfly. Nothing doing alas (perhaps a little early) but there were at least two Red Admiral Butterflies present viz. redadmiraloneeastwickhamopenspace23february2019.jpg redadmiraltwoeastwickhamopenspace23february2...

Wow: almost a couple of years since we have added anything. A couple of Butterflies today in the Grounds of Hall Place (the LB of Bexley in SE London) viz. a Red Admiral (our second of 2019) and this Small Tortoiseshell : smalltortoiseshellhallplace22february2019.jpg Not long now before the Butterfl...

Gentlemen,

Thanks very much...
