On Friday around mid day again in hot continuous sunshine, flying strongly through the garden without stopping and heading due south, a large dark butterfly. Larger than a Red admiral, Peacock and darker... My first thought was a Large Tortoiseshell but as it was darker than that Butterfly, possibly a Camberwell Beauty.
Has there been any reported sightings of N.antiopa in the UK recently.
During my lifetime's observations, there have now been numerous sightings which shall always remain in my memory as " what the heck was that!"
