Apart from the inevitable Large Tortoiseshells (...it must have been a substantial release of them as they're being reported right across the island now!) butterflies are beginning to feature in both variety and quantity; both Clouded Yellow and Speckled Wood were on the wing for the first time today, whilst Commas are popping up quite widely © Roger Hewitt (Clouded Yellow) and Ken Dolbear (Speckled Wood and Comma)
