Spotted a holly blue today fluttering around, but never settled for long enough. Only the second have seen thus far.

Am seeing peacocks everywhere at the moment. Five on one or a group of plants this morning. Kind of begs the question, can they delay emerging from the chrysalis for more favourable conditions?

A Painted Lady joined us a breakfast time. It settled in a sunny spot out of the wind and stayed for about three hours.

I had two Red Admirals in the garden today. The ivy blossom is at it's best currently and they were attracted by that.
