Sunday 13th April featured an unusual phenomenon this spring - it rained during the afternoon (though not very much). This did mean that butterfly activity was confined to the morning, and with almost all their appearances being in the afternoons I failed to see a Red Admiral for the first time since the last week of March.
The morning's tally:
Peacock 13
Orange Tip 7
GVW 6
Small White 5
Large White 5
Speckled Wood 5
Comma 3
Holly Blue 2
Brimstone 2
...plus a few Orange Tip eggs.
A selection...
I think the Peacock was completely unaware of the camouflaged spider just below it on the fence.
