Hi all

new poster - great site.

Thought I would let you know I spotted a small tortoiseshell flying erratically in my garden (cottingham, east yorkshire) on saturday 2nd december. after a couple of minutes it vanished - hope it found somewhere nice and warm to survive the winter...

welcome jfish! Saw one Red Admiral today, which means they are hibernating here this year, very rare in N.I.

Welcome to the forum jfish - I haven't seen a butterfly for ages now.

Hi jfish and welcome.
I haven't seen any butterflies for ages either.
Hope you enjoy this site.
