Another painted lady this morning, making three this year. A mention for the speckled wood, that I hardly ever do, is the most common one I am seeing so far.

I am really surprised by the Painted Ladies. I think they may have hibernated.

Was thinking that myself JS. If our winters are getting warmer, then they can find shelter until spring.

Well spotted. I haven't seen any butterflies this week.

Good for mid April. I'm hoping all butterflies have a good year this year.
