Lean pickings this morning, but a new one for this year, and that is a red admiral. Plus an orange tip, small white and several speckled wood.

After quite a wet morning an Orange Tip had a brief flutter about this afternoon.

Been a nice day here, but thought I may see more than I did.

A nice warm day attracted a few whites. Several Large White singularly and a pair of Small Wites and one Holly Blue. It is unusual to get Whites this early, it is usually June before they become visible.

Good ones to spot JS. Not many sightings here today. Thought the warm weather may have bought them out.
