I know what you mean, Nuthatch. I always find that yellow ones go in the opposite direction :nod:.

Wel into the first week of may and still no SBF. Frankly I'm concerned :nod:
A couple of Orange Tips and Large Whites did turn up though :)

:eek: ! Frankly, I would be concerned too :nod:.
The opposite problem obtains in my garden - the preponderation of SBFs is actively preventing access to Brimstones, Large Whites and assorted types which should be prevalent at this date.
Butterfly Wars have broken out and the tv cameras are here :( :butterfly: :fence: :butterfly:. They refuse to pay royalties :weep:.

A good day for Butterflies in the chateau garden today. Orange Tips, Large Whites and Holly Blues in abundance plus a solitary Speckled Wood. :)
