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
Hazel in Southwest France
Nice photos from South Stack PB.
Have you ventured down to see the puffins there?

The puffin numbers there have been very low for a good few years. I look forward to the photos.
a few from Friday. Green hairstreak in the Gorse. Couldn’t get a good shot but it’s a first.
