saw a butterfly yesterday in my garden - first one this year
Suspect the cold spring killed a lot of wasps off. Amounts do vary greatly year on year. Don't worry BT, you will be fighting them off your ice cream before long!
Ps do put a bowl or something similar of water in the garden for the birds. They are struggling through lack of water.
I’ve got two bird baths in my garden the birds love them the only trouble it’s a full time job keeping them full due to it being so hot
I saw a butterfly in Ely road yesterday, same thing, first one this year. But what startled me was it was like a cabbage white but it was pale purple.
does anyone know if it was a different strain or just a cabbage white that had just ate something coloured? I don't know how that works.
There are a few "blue" butterflies that would fit this description.
These are commonest
