The two sunny periods over the last couple of weeks have brought out the early butterflies (Brimstone, Orange Tip, Tortoiseshell, Peacock and Comma). This weekend I saw my first blue - a Holly Blue (shown above). Their food plants are the Holly and the Ivy and we have lots of both so I am surprised I don't see more of this species.
