Same round my way, Mark (Brimstones too). Peacocks seem to keep going though. I've probably seen more of this species than any other so far this year.essexbuzzard wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 10:21 pm..The numbers of Commas and Small Tortoiseshell are beginning to decline, now, as many have probably mated, laid eggs and completed their life cycle...
Indeed, Mark. The difference is possibly more immense than for many years. On 20th March I had only just seen my first butterfly and life was relatively normal (albeit with the anticipation of things soon to change pretty radically).essexbuzzard wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2020 11:03 pm..What a difference a month makes. A month ago, we were still watching the flood waters recede, and everywhere was full of slush and slime, making walking in the countryside more of an ordeal than a pleasure. It is surprising how quickly things dry out, once it stops raining! Ground conditions are pleasant at last.
