        Saw a red admiral in the garden about an hour ago along with my first garden bumblebee. It's fab seeing them again! :yahoo:

          I've only seen one fleeting glimpse of a Butterfly so far and that was so brief that I couldn't identify it.:coffee::snork:

          That's early for a Comma, mainly Brimstone, Admirals and Torties here so far.

            Just seen the first butterfly of the year in my back garden this morning, just before lunch. A Peacock drying it's wings out perhaps, on the patio catching a few rays. Have had a thumping big Bumblebee banging on the conny door and yes, I've got a large hellebore fetodis quite near the door and it's in full flower, has been since about Oct/Nov as normal.

              There's been some Meadow Browns around, but not managed to take a pic.
