A suspected peacock seen browsing blackthorn blossom high up at Willsbridge local widllife park today. I took a telephoto shot and checked the camera screen and it's a definite.
Brimstone males are now regularly patrolling the woodland paths of the reserve.
Two days ago, I counted six commas in one south facing slope that is overgrown with bramble. They were regularly seeing off other insects, usually brimstones, but a white tailed bumblebee didn't offer much resisitance either.
Where have all the orange tailed bumblebees gone?

At Ffordd y Wagen, Pwll, Llanelli a disused railway track from the industrial era on March 31st were 10+ Peacock, 2 Brimstone, 6 Comma, 7 Small Tortoiseshell, 2 Small White and a Speckled Wood. The track has a micro climate, it is sheltered and produces the goods even in the current cold winds.

I have no idea. I haven't seen quite that many but there are still lots of peacocks around. Today I saw two male orange tips, half a dozen speckled wood, four small white, five peacock, around the same brimstone, a couple of commas and a small tortoiseshell.
Here's a small tort I snapped on Friday in South Wales:
