re: Painted Ladies
Today 02/07/2009 there was a steady influx coming in at the river nene outfall into the wash ( south lincs ). I was doing a bit of birding there and from around 16:00 they were arriving in threes and fours quite regularly. Some looked pretty raggedy and I saw around 30 in total. I'm no butterfly expert so these may not have been fresh migrants at all, just ones that were already over here and blown along the coast from further around towards norfolk.
