🎅 December Clouded Yellow on the transect today👏

Seal watching at Donna Nook. Nature at its best here in Lincolnshire.

Only 9°C in the garden this morning but this Red Admiral was still very active

A surprise visitor whilst at my friend’s house in Scawby, N Lincs today - a long time since I last saw a Clouded yellow @savebutterflies.bsky.social

No sign of the Clouded Yellow I saw 2 days ago but good to see a couple of Wall Brown in Heacham dunes @norfolknats.bsky.social @norfolkbutterflies.bsky.social

Very surprised to see a Clouded Yellow in the drizzle on Heacham outer sea wall this afternoon @norfolkbutterflies.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social

Nice fresh Small Tortoiseshell in the garden just now

Took another bike ride to the small lucerne field at Theddlethorpe today and saw 6 Wall Brown, 2 Small Coppers, Peacock, Speckled Wood and many Small whites

Small Tortoiseshell in the garden this morning

19km walk at #Holkham Norfolk today under a blue sky and a warm September sun. Saw some great birds, including skeins of newly arrived Pink Footed Geese, 4 Hobby's hawking for Dragonflies, and 3 Whinchats. But perhaps the highlight of the day was half a dozen Clouded Yellow butterflies.

I love wildlife watching while cycling. Brimstone & Red Admiral kept my spirits high while riding through mid Norfolk yesterday. #savebutterflies

A pair of Wall Brown at Heacham this morning

Better late than never!
The first Painted Lady I've seen in my Mablethorpe garden this year.

Took another bike ride down to the Lucerne field at Theddlethorpe this morning and saw 10 species of butterflies in 30 mins including Small Copper, Painted Lady, Common Blue, Red Admiral, Comma, Peacock, Speckled Wood, Large & Small White and Small Tortoiseshell in the sunshine

First Comma in the garden for a few weeks.
I've never noticed the row of green spots on the underside before!

Common Blue & Small Copper on a small Lucerne field at Theddlethorpe this morning before the sun disappeared but no Clouded Yellows unfortunately

Up to 6 Clouded Yellows at Ringstead downs today showing really well but not settling at all.
