Sightings from Stanwell Moor. A glorious sunny day, and though not as warm as 25th February had been, I found more butterflies today during a lengthy walk around my local patch near Heathrow. The highlight was a newly-emerged female Small White, the first non-hibernator of the season. The totals today: Peacock (12), Comma (9), Brimstone (5), Small White (1). [Posted by Dave Miller]
