It must be warmer where you live Brian, I've only seen Tortoiseshell, Peacock and Brimstone so far.The slow worm is another occasional find which is a shame, I do like reptiles.
ReplyDeleteSeems to be Springing here; my girlfriend spotted an Orange Tip earlier, I saw another Slowworm, about 4 or 5 common lizards (impossible to photograph) and five Adders - 2 males & 3 females. But it’s turning much colder tomorrow - Spring watch may be on hold for a week or two...
DeleteNot a bad start mate at all!
ReplyDeleteJust waiting for an Orange Tip butterfly...
