It's worth pointing out that the Large Tortoiseshell images posted from Horseshoe Plantation (Beachy Head) on 7 April (Danny McEvoy and Paul Stevens) and 6 April (James W) comprise at least two individuals (males).
Also, a nice male in Abbot's Wood (Hailsham) on 7 April by Bob Eade and Lisa Saw - as yet to hit the web pages.
BWs, Neil

For all this year's reports so far, I haven't seen one that's spanned two days. Is that likely to be the lack of a return visit from the original finder, and no follow-up from anyone, or is this species notoriously "in and out?"
