My first Brimstone of the season came flapping through today. :)
Still waiting for the first Orange Tip so I can tell Springwatch :(

I saw 2 today (but then I haven't really been out in my garden this year). A yellow one and a brown speckled one. No idea what they were, apart from in a hurry to be elsewhere :)

We were tidying the garage and I swear we woke the brown one up as it seemed to fly from a box we opened by the garage door.
