Three more from Kefalonia.

Thanks Guy, looks like my wife was right! I was going Tree Grayling.

Help with identification appreciated. Apologies for the quality of the photo taken on my phone.

I've followed Guy's suggestion and emailed the NT. I will share their response.

Unusually marked Small Tortoiseshell in Tenby today.

Two small skippers arrived together in our pennine garden

First butterfly of the year. A male Brimstone flying alongside the M5 near Stroud.

Thank you.

I would appreciate help in identifying this butterfly seen in Skala in the South of Kefalonia.

Finally saw my first Butterfly of 2018! Today is almost the first day this year the temperature in North East Lancashire has reached double figures and now its 20 degrees!

Two separate Red Admirals seen in Somerset this morning. Temperature was 14 degrees

Thanks Guy, and for the previous identification of the Skippers.

Can anyone identify this butterfly. Apologies for the poor quality of the photograph but it was sat at the top of a tree and I've heavily cropped it. To give an idea of the size it was significantly bigger than a Southern White Admiral which was also in the same tree.

Thanks John.

I did wonder about Pigmy Skipper for the first one but the book I had with me said they were absent from Kefalonia! Mind you it also said Geranium Bronze weren't found there and they were very common!

I would appreciate it is someone could give me an identification for these three skippers seen on Kefalonia earlier this month. Is the first one is a Mediterranean Skipper?

I notice on the Somerset and Bristol branch first sightings page Glanville Fritillary have been seen at Sand Point this year.

Is this another reintroduction or have they just been missed for 2 years?

Apparently the £13.95 offer doesn't include postage and packing of £4 so £17.95 that I paid is correct. Purchases after 01 April will cost £22.95 including postage and packing.
