Yesterday's (Wenesday, 25th) sunny warmth brought out the first butterflies of the year. Several pale yellow Brimstones and and a very welcome Small Tortoiseshell, flew quickly through my front garden, not settling so no pictures. The Small Tortoiseshels have not been very plentyful in recent years so perhaps we can hope that this early emergence might be a sign off better numbers to come.
A walk down the path to Ashton in the afternoon where several Peacocks and a single Comma settled on patches of bare earth sunning themselves, long enough to get pictures of sorts.
