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

Thanks Hazel, much appreciated

Had a very lucky encounter yesterday. Saw something unusual flitting about and then it landed.
Nice Jersey Tiger Mr Kes
I photographed one yesterday as well, at RSPB Sandy, will post the photo's later.
What a beautiful moth Mr Kes, lucky you
Well done Mr.Kes. Super shot. I've never been lucky enough to see one yet ...
Really lovely photo of this pretty moth, well done Mr Kes

Thanks SM. Yes got a few other shots too. But happy to spot it on a nice sunny day. It’s been wet and windy all day today, so not a lot out today.
Thanks Linda first one I’ve ever seen.
Cheers BD. Yes very happy with it. Lovely looking moth I say.
Thanks Hazy very kind.
