Female often appears slightly darker in flight but this could be an illusion. Females emerge later so by that time, males are tending to be a little faded.

You wouldn't be expected to say great sightings for these three species, but so far this year I've seen one fly-by Small tortoiseshel in March, 3 faded peacocks (none over our way) and a smattering of Holly Blue first generation, again none over our wayWurzel wrote:today Peacock, Small Tortoiseshell, male Holly Blue
