Hello,

7 March 2008
The first Comma Butterfly of the year emerged from hibernation to flutter around the Butterfly Copse next to the Waterworks Road, Old Shoreham. It was in pristine condition and was restless, rarely settling for more than 15 seconds, and after a few minutes it flew off rapidly westwards.

This only my second confirmed personal tally for this year. The only other definite was a Peacock Butterfly.
