4 Clouded Yellows on the wing at Southbourne Undercliff today 10th November with 1 Red Admiral showing briefly. There was a Wall Brown reported from Hengistbury Head as well. On the 5th November I saw a Clouded Yellow egg laying on Birds Foot Trefoil at Southbourne in a sheltered area along the undercliff.
Looking at the forecast for the next week, I don't think I'll be spending much time searching for Butterflies, but: I have a Primrose poking a flower out at the Velator bird reserve in N Devon. Must be spring!
Overcast and strong winds this morning - but the wind gradually dropped, the sun came out and in a warm spot just near where I was working, a pristine Red Admiral sunning itself.
First frost of the season this morning but wall to wall sunshine soon made it feel much warmer! Four Clouded Yellows, three Small Coppers (all male) A very tatty Wall Brown and a female Small White were all enjoying the sun too!
Sat in the lounge with curtains pulled against the bright sunlight to see a butterfly fluttering silhouetted outside. Go out to see a nice Small Tortoiseshell sunning at the top of the wall below the gutter . Back inside to grab the camera but gone when went back out.
