I saw my first brimstone butterfly some weeks ago and have seen several since. Also seen Red Admiral and Peacock.

First Butterflies 2024

After an arctic blast last week with much ice & heavy frost, it's turned much milder since the weekend, if stormy at times. Slightly surprised to see 2 Red Admirals about in Kew Gardens today, even though I know they can be seen in any month.

Not seen a Brimstone myself yet (in fact don't see even annually).

Yes generally down south you,ll see butterflies, flowers, (bluebells) good example and (birds) migrants before UP north, with these weather conditions we are having its a struggle here, thou managed to see another brimstone briefly like before last weekend.

Luckily here in south east derbyshire, uk, In march or april I'm confident of seeing Brimstone at least briefly and normally in my garden if it was a bit warmer you could add others to the list even comma, holly blue a bit later in april, with peacock, and small tortoiseshell all possible, with occasional species of other butterflies to add to that list too.
