Despite the wind and frequent rain showers we finally have a few more butterflies around, mostly Large & Small White, Meadow Brown, Small Tortoiseshell, Holly Blue and Red Admirals. Relatively few Red Admirals over-winter in UK, most Spring arrivals coming from the continent, with the first generation of UK hatched butterflies appearing about now. This species will be around until late autumn. The caterpillars are found on nettles mostly, and the adults love buddleia.
