Signs Of Spring ...

Not a great shot, more a hastily grabbed snap, but I thought I'd still share it as it's the most obvious sign I've seen yet of Spring this year.

This butterfly was shot on Tuesday this week in our back garden. It was only there briefly and given how bad the weather was again yesterday it probably regretted its early flight.

Nonetheless it was a welcome sight!

We are way down south and I have yet to see a butterfly. An odd queen bumble bee has cruised past but no butterflies yet.

One up for the North then! Don't worry Phil I'm sure there will be plenty down there soon ... just before they introduce a hose pipe ban! ;)

We haven't had one of those for a couple of years and we have had steady additions to the reservoirs and the reserves under the chalk downs, all through the autumn and winter..

Very nicely captured Peacock Butterfly.
Did you know that their caterpilars eat stinging nettles.

Thanks ... I didn't know about them eating thistles, but I did know they lay their eggs on them so I guess that makes sense! :)
