  • Probably a brimstone .They look like creamy silk drifting along in the air.

    I've seen a comma, it was very worn looking, must have over-wintered unless it got in a fight. Lots of brimstones and peacocks

  • The garden was stuffed full of butterflys with the 18 degree weather this weekend in the north east, even here at 150M, where spring is usually a good week or 2 behind (daffs have only just come out!).
