Spring is here!

I saw my first butterflies of the year today, a Red Admiral and a Small Tortoiseshell both feeding on heather flowers - nice.

Please add your first butterfly sightings as a comment onto this post, thanks.

  1. Well spotted Peter. Haven't seen Red Admiral or Small Tortoiseshell yet, but did have a Brimstone butterfly on the last day of Feb - always a treat.

  2. We don't get too many Brimstone butterflies at my home site - it's a species which is always nice to see, especially in February - well done Sue.

  3. A really nice Brimstone in the sunshine at Llanelli WWT last week was my first of the year. Nothing "up North" so far.

  4. Nice one Alan, I'm sure Douglas will be keeping an eye on these Brimstone records.
