Some butterflies over-winter in sheds etc........maybe the sunshine has confused it and it's come out too soon?

I sent it to the Derbyshire County recorder and he says 53 butterflies - 7 different species have been reported to him already this year - an increase almost double of previous year. He added this one is the first recorded in Derbyshire this week and yes over wintered and wet start but sunny and warmer around midday must have needed some food. Back to sleep now I guess
