There hasn't been a monthly thread for butterflies since November so thought I'd try and kick start one.

Just had 2 Red Admirals chasing each other outside my bedroom window in Falmouth, Cornwall!

I heard a vague report that Brimstone had already been seen this year so it seems a few short lived sunny spells do have the ability to encourage a few individuals out of hibernation.

Looking forward to reading other peoples butterfly encounters this month! :t:

There were a few seen in December and reported on the November thread as I recall ...


But, nice!

Damn! Seems reading and proofreading before I posted still didn't alert me to the glaring mistake! :eek!: My mind must be locked in the past, sigh...

If Moderators could edit the title to read "January-February 2015 Butterflies" that'd be much appreciated,

Cheers,

An Edit button usually appears on your own posts for the first 24 hours, so you should be able to change it yourself.

But not the title unfortunately ...

(also in a different Falmouth garden, Black Redstart and Bumblebee today, but no butterflies for me)

I unexpectedly uncovered a hibernating Peacock whilst hacking down a neighbour's tree. I've relocated it to an unheated cubby-hole and hope it survives the cold weather.

Thanks very much. I'm sure it won't be the last time I make that mistake

I saw two red admirals outside Bristol Temple Meads station in the winter sunshine on 15th January too. Don't fancy their chances given the weather since.
