Thanks Trevor, perhaps I can start now
It's funny you should say that, Wurzel, almost a full house again yesterday
On decent days things do begin to kick off, David, but they've been few and far between here so far. With grim things at the fore, it's more uplifting than ever seeing some active butterflies on those good days
14th March
Yesterday was a lovely sunny day with temperatures reaching 13 degrees with a light breeze. Wondering around our garden with my camera at around midday I almost managed the full house of hibernators.

I disturbed a Peacock which flew past me and landed on a daffodil, as I made my approach it had morphed into this..

I took some shots and as it seemed settled I legged it up to the house to fetch Cathy. Unfortunately it had flown when we returned and a good search failed to relocate it. Hopefully there will be others during the course of the year
