I am more likely to win a photo competition than snow in the south this coming weekend. It WON'T snow in the south (except perhaps on the very highest hills).

I agree - the vids are quite something. I've been getting guidance from the ever-so-helpful Gruditch on how best to dispose of my ready cash. Video is a requirementSussex Kipper wrote:Hi Susie,
A gentle canter would be a sensible compromise. Seriously... your recent videos of Red Admiral etc have made me think more about filming - a whole new world to obsess about.

Great spot! I have read that a Holly Blue has been sighted too.Susie wrote:Orange Tip in Broadbridge Heath!!!!
I don't think exceptionally cold weather in December and January has any effect on subsequent emergence date. Whether it is very cold or just plain ordinary cold, no development of larvae, pupae will occur. I reckon that February is crucial. A warmer-than-average February (as we have just had) followed by a warm March (except the first week or so) might allow development. Conversely, a cold or even an average February might still be too cold for things to happen.In spite of the freezing December, butterfly emergence times appear not to have been retarded.
This season is early. Sure, it will be cooler over the next couple of days but it should then warm up again....decent sized stands of mature blackthorn in Cranleigh...
