Spring butterflies – how many have you spotted so far?
A sure sign that spring is here is the emergence of overwintering butterflies in search of early pollen and I’m sure the eagle-eyed amongst you may already have spotted one or two, but would you know how to identify them?
In order to help we have put together a selection of some of the first butterflies you may be able to see either from your windows or garden.
The first butterflies of the year include:
Common Brimstone
Peacock
Small Tortoiseshell
Red Admiral
Comma
And you may even be able to spot an Orange Tip

Perhaps you have seen some butterflies that are not on our list? Do leave a comment below, we would love to hear from you.
