Here in the midlands we have had some really bad days especially this week, but until yesterday we have also had some decent spells of sun with reasonable temperatures in between.
Both last weekend and the one before I managed to get out and each time I managed to see some butterflies, not in huge numbers I must admit, but enough so that April for me has not been a total washout.

Hi Neil,
We are the Shropshire end of the West Midlands and I have seen 1 orange tip for a couple of minutes in the last 3 weeks, Can you please tell me where you are seeing them

Unfortunately I will be at work tomorrow when the sun comes out

Sorry

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed reply, my PC died a couple of days back and I am using my sons laptop...when I can get on it

I am in Solihull, all my sightings have been around the local area so far this year. My best day was Friday 13th when I saw about half a dozen Orange Tips as posted in my diary,

I have also had a few in my back garden since then but nowhere near the numbers that I had last year.

Heres hoping that May turns out better than April.
