I’ve skipped a few butterfly firsts but all the species I see will get their turn over time. Today, I am simply too excited at seeing my first Holly blue of the year to choose anything else, as there’s just something extraordinary about a butterfly this colour.

Blue butterflies are so pretty.
So far this year in Lancs I have seen quite a few Small Tortoishell and one Orange Tip White.

Nice! The Small torties seem to be doing well locally too, but you’re ahead of us with the Orange tip – none here yet, though I saw Cuckoo flower in bloom yesterday so shouldn’t be far away. 🙂

Ah yes I saw some cuckoo flower too. Quite early for both I think but the sunny warm weekend helped. 🙂
