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

Very nice Noisette.
Had a super sightings day, three buddleias have new blooms on, sun shone and had an influx of new pristine butterfly visitors ... no pics unfortunately but saw 4 Red Admirals on one bush and 6 on another with a Peacock all at the same timecouple of large Whites plus a very fleeting Hummingbird Hawkmoth!
