Butterfly

I've just seen my first Butterfly of the year, hopefully it bodes well for a good summer ahead. Just North of Edinburgh btw.

Re: Butterfly

That is early Ray. Which specie was it? I think a few do overwinter & hibernate.

Re: Butterfly

Seen quite a few bees and ladybirds since the good weather we had recently. No butterflies as yet, but I saw my first ant yesterday.
