            There are less this year, I think @JWK.
            I took my U3A Nature Group to Badbury Rings (near Wimborne) this morning and despite the wind we saw 10 species of Butterfly! more than I hoped for.:smile:

              I saw one this afternoon, they're pretty common here but you never see them before middle of July.

                I haven't seen a peacock either, this year, but I do see some most years.

                    @Sheal took me a while, but I finally got it, too early for complicated brain movements.

                        @Sheps I agree with you, much too early even without the complicated brain movements. :biggrin:
