I have not seen alot. Seen two Small Tortoiseshell mating and was walking into a field when a swallow nearly hit my head. They're back. I saw another Small tortoiseshell at bottom of field and waited and a peacock butterfly flew past my head.

I saw a few 20 plume moths around but not much. And one small white which I seen for a few mins and it disappeared. Seen it on and off but it keeps disappearing.

Here is a list of the leps I have seen in Northern Ireland this year Here are January-March.
