Me too, Paul. In fact, when I was growing up I don't ever recall seeing a butterfly after my birthday (which is 9 October). This gradual warming of the climate seems to have its greatest effect round this time of year in the UK. Temperatures in the south are routinely in the 12-16c range into late November and regular frosts seem to have become a thing of the past prior to December these days.bugboy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 11, 2020 10:54 am...I’m old enough to remember a time when if you wanted to see a butterfly in the UK in November, you either went to a butterfly house or went rooting around in the darker recesses of the garden shed. These days it’s almost standard you’ll find something on the wing if you know where to look: adult hibernators squeezing in a few extra weeks nectaring, Red Admirals and Clouded Yellows hanging around far longer than they used to and others squeezing in an extra brood.
Even more so when you consider that none of them are resident overwinterers. Remarkable!...four species in November is never to be sniffed at
Extraordinary! Judging by the buds visible adjacent to the existing flowers there may be more to come, Paul.
