An Early Sighting

We spotted a Red Admiral on Sunday 16th February on the wall of our house in Heswall. Has anyone else noticed such an early appearance of this species, or any other butterfly?

We assume it had just emerged from hibernation but it must have had a bit of a shock with today's weather after yesterday's sunshine.

Friday's Talk

I am pleased to let you know that Carl was thoroughly checked by the paramedics and was then taken home by some of the committee. He had been working at the World Museum all day and tiredness, plus the heat of the room, may have caused the problem.

Thank you for your understanding. We all hope Carl is feeling fine this morning.
