Err, when you can see them?

It's far too early to see leaves yet although many woodland trees, such as hazel, are showing young catkins already. Wait until spring and they'll appear, if they grew now they would be killed by the cold.

Are you gonna grow some Brimstones Felix???

Not really familiar with the plant, but i would imagine the buds appear quite early in the spring. As you may or may not know i am a complete novice with butterflies, but aren't Brimstones an early emerging species? Sorry i can't help more.

Sorry Zonda I did'nt know you were a novice but I think your doing great at learning about butterflies and your pictures........WOW I love them!

The photo at this link was taken on 19th April - a very tiny bud! So it's early days yet.
