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 Wendy, glad you like them ... .
Thanks Snappy. I'd never seen them before. It was much milder down south ... .
Thanks Cin, and thanks for the id. It was nice to see something a bit different ... .
Just another Tortoiseshell picture. Really need to see more of these around the garden. One butterfly I have not found and photo'ed this year in the garden is the Orange Tip. I love seeing those.
Lovely photo Ed, nice focus.
Wow! That's sharp Ed. The blue dots stand out really well. Don't see many around here, but I saw loads down in Somerset last week ...
Thank you.
Very nice Ed. Hardly seen any this year.
Lovely.
