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

I have now found 24 species of Butterfly this year.
Love the profile shot of the Gatekeeper Snappy... all superb of course, but something different about it :o)
Well done Snappy. If I see another 20, my sightings will be 24 species too ... . It's piggin' raining again here !!
Thanks PB
Thanks BD, hope it stops raining soon. They don't seem to like the wet
Nice set Snappy. Still not seeing much here.
