A decent selection Willpar. I'm getting a few in the garden now but I haven't had time for a country walk. :shake:

Brimstones are a butterfly that find their way into my garden especially in the spring when they are one of the first to emerge. Sometimes I'll get the odd one at this time of year which I suppose is the second brood. This afternoon I had five all at the same time which is a record for my garden. The attraction was my Everlasting Pea which still has plenty of flowers even though the weather has been very dry.

Seen one a couple of weeks ago, and today seen another. Is what i believe to be a clouded yellow. Is not a large butterfly, but the yellow is very striking. Did not look cloudy to me. Sadly it never settled so no video. But i did get a five second video of the first one, but the wings were closed.

There are a few most years manage the migration from the continent so yo could be right.
