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.

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
