I think it’s fair to say it’s not been much of a Spring so far, weather wise at least. It’s often been cool, frequently wet, and the sun has been elusive. I’m hoping Monday, the last day of April, was a hint of days to come – though there was a cool wind, the skies were mostly blue and it was warm in sheltered spots. Those conditions at Cosmeston persuaded the butterflies to come out to play, and I saw the highest numbers so far this year: 7 Brimstones, 2 Orange-tips, 2 Speckled woods, 2 Commas and 4 Peacocks. And it was such fun to be cavorting like a crazy woman again, flitting across fields and dancing along hedgerows to try to get photographs.

Gorgeous! I’m envious of the Brimstones, only seen one so far this year and that was from a train! Happy cavorting!

I was certainly lucky with these Brimstones as they rarely stay still long enough for me to get photos. 🙂

It probably didn’t look like dancing to anyone but me. 😉
