BUTTERFLIES

[Jacksparrow]

Mrs JS found a Small Tortoiseshell in one of the chateau bedrooms. It's lack of movement convinced her it was deceased but during an attempt to move the body it sprang into life. I was summoned to relocate and obliged by putting it in the garage. I know they do hibernate so I'm hoping it finds a cosy billet. Spring is a long way off and it is sharing will many spiders

Hopefully the spiders wont eat it.

Still plenty of Red Admirals around. Am seeing them on my walks.

I'm a little surprised the RAs are still around I would expect them to be in winter hibernation now.

My first butterfly of the year today. The ever reliable Brimstone which is usually first to get going.

Good spot. Not seen any here yet.

[Placido]

Good grief, already !!!
Maybe it was out panic-buying long-life nectar ?

[Jacksparrow]

Another one today It might have been the same one as yesterday but I couldn't see the ring on his leg

[Placido]

Sounds like the same one - disobeying the self-isolation laws. Rebels everywhere .

Yeah he was at it again today. I'd report him but I didn't get his number
