It's well overdue for starting. This is the link to last years thread
Butterflies and Moths 2023
There haven't been a lot of butterflies around here this year so far. The earliest was a fresh Red Admiral on the 3rd of january
Since then I've seen a Speckled Wood & Peacock. There have been Brimstone's about but I haven't seen them. Plenty of time left in the year to go chasing butterflies.
Best wishes

Nice butterfly Hazy.
Nice photo Ed.
Thank you.
A Speckled Wood, taken a couple of days ago on the local moors. I saw a few of these and a few Ringlets. None of the Ringlets landed or stayed still long enough to get a shot ...
Lovely photo. I love the detail.
Thank you Ed, glad you like it ...
Nice photo BD, seeing a few fresh ones of these about at the minute.
Photo's taken today at RSPB Sandy.
