My first butterfly spot today
. A small, browny type, flittering along.
I believe the technical term is Small Brown Flitter

Well spotted Placido. You're lucky to see a SBF this early in the season

Yes, it is early, Jacksparrow. Googled it and SBFs don't normally appear until the third Friday in June, so that's a first

Yes, it could have been a moff. Next time the sun comes out I'll ask it

Is the yellow one still in the garden, or did it go under the fence ??

The yellow one will be a Brimstone. The other could be an Orangetip.
