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

Nice photo's Mr Kes, like your Fritillary and White Admiral
Super shots Mr Kes. I love the Fritillary it is beautiful. Never seen one or a White Admiral. There's not much in our area particularly this year.
Fab set Mr Kes
Lovely set Mr K, never seen a white admiral or Silver-Washed Fritillary, such pretty butterflies.

Well, you know what the original idea of a house warming party is ?
Everyone who turns up helps with DiY, then the host treats them to some refreshment.
