 Seen several white butterflies this morning, did make out that one was a small white. Also a speckled wood, a red admiral and a peacock. Was nice and sunny.
Small White sightings at this time of year might actually be female Orange Tips who look very similar. :)

Today up at the lane, an orange tip butterfly and what could have been a green vein. Was nice and sunny.

A warmer day than what we've been having brought the butterflies out. My first Large White of the year plus a Holly Blue and an Orange Tip.

Good spots JS. Have not seen a holly blue yet, nor a large white.

I have two Holly trees and plenty of Ivy which would explain why the Holly Blues were everywhere today enjoying the summery weather.

Spotted a holly blue while walking the lanes this morning. First one of the new season.

Not in my garden but out on a walk near home I saw a Ringlet and a Marbled White. We seem a little short of the usual white butterflies so far.
