First butterfly
16th March 2010, Tuesday
Well, I’m sure it’s not the first butterfly of 2010 to be seen locally, but it’s my first (very late) and I don’t remember any recent butterfly photos on this forum. This was one of 4 Small Tortoiseshells I found today – a mating pair by Playden Church, and then two chasing each other (including this one) on the sunny slopes below Rye Cemetery. With more sunshine this week I expect many more will be reported.
