New member - first sighting

Post by Angie »

Hello all. I'm a new member. Spotted the first butterfly of the year in my garden yesterday. A peacock. Sadly it didn't visit any of the flowers (not that there are many) but it certainly spent a good while sunning itself.

A great start, Angie :) Perhaps you have better weather for butterflies in Edinburgh than here in the sodden South!

Looking forward to seeing more of your photos.

Welcome Angie. Good to hear you have seen a butterfly up here. If you could just encourage it to go east a bit, I would be grateful!! :D
