Really happy to see my first Small Tortoiseshell for over a year on my allotment yesterday, along with Holly Blue, Comma, Red Admiral, Large & Small White, Ringlet, Meadow Brown and Gatekeeper

Are you having nice weather Martin? here in Nefyn its low cloud and sweeping rain, It's so nice to see the garden Butterflies, I hope you have a nice day gardening.

Hi all,
The Small Tortoiseshell has thankfully done just a little bit better in West Sussex this year. Despite several trips out specifically to get a shot of a nice fresh one, I wasn't having much luck. But while I was 'thrown out' of my own house, as an Estate Agent conducted a viewing, this beauty came and sat on the fencing in the driveway.

Hi Shirley,
Cloudy with showers today, but the last two days have been glorious here in west London.
