I saw my first butterfly of the year today. A Peacock trying to warm itself in the sun on our garage wall.

You gotta be kidding! Of course I know you arent lol, but I havent even seen a fly in my garden yet - there is absolutely nothing flying other than birds and a few small midgey things I saw.

Hope your butterfly found somewhere warm for the night

Hi Jean & Linda,

Yes, it was a nice surprise. No chance of seeing anything of the like again today!

Yeah, my first butterfly of the year was a Red Admiral fly-by just now.

Gosh! You must be more sheltered than us, Denise - just 4C here, but the bitter cold north wind makes it feel more like 0C. Well done for spotting it. Jean

Hi Jean,
It was a lovely day here yesterday, warm calm and sunny. 6-7C
Today however is cold with snow first thing.

I hope the Red Ad found somewhere safe to go.

We saw a lovely male Brimstone on Friday, back & forth over the garden - lovely. Jean & Graham

Incredibly just got my first sighting of the year in the garden. A female Brimstone 8-)

Just saw my first Brimstone too, it got swept away with the wind.
