I had to keep flicking them off before I shut a door because I didn't want to squash them. Looked around and there were a dozen or so on the brickwork around the front door of the house. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=686763&v=e car4play686762 Tue, 03 Mar 2026 19:50:53 +0000 Had a privet hawk moth in the garden this afternoon, glorious creature. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=686762&v=e car4play686507 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 20:34:20 +0000 Took youngrovergirl to addenbrookes for a lecture today. Sis in law and myself used the park and ride and went for a walk by the river. Very pleasant day except for the cyclist who rode into the back of an old lady. She grazed her knuckles and knee. The bike crashed into some metal railings and bent itself. Cyclist needed assistance getting up and tore jeans and a bit shocked. Otherwise ok. Headphones fell off and broke. Continued our walk and found a cafe for a restorative cuppa. Ladies in cafe said cyclists are lethal in Cambridge. Plenty of swans and ducks and a few frisky squirrels but not a butterfly in sight. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=686507&v=e car4play686506 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 19:53:12 +0000 >>Best weather day of the week Bout time! I managed to cut the grass and put away 1.2m² of barn-stored hardwood logs in the store. Rain on Thursday :) http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=686506&v=e car4play686499 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 17:18:26 +0000 >> >>Glorious sunshine here in SW >> >> It won't last. >> Very true. Best weather day of the week, or future weeks. Dry all day in my part of the world, long sunny periods and warm enough to sit outside The Boathouse in Skipton taking light refreshment after a stroll from Gargrave. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=686499&v=e car4play686498 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 17:02:01 +0000 Yes almost certainly a Brimstone. Harbinger of Spring. Coming home from Lanzarote next week. Looks like I timed it right. 26C this afternoon though so temperature will b a bit of a shock. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=686498&v=e car4play686497 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 16:07:36 +0000 >>Glorious sunshine here in SW It won't last. :) http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=686497&v=e car4play686493 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 15:14:19 +0000 Mr Bathtub, your butterfly was almost certainly a Brimstone, normally the first to emerge apart from red admirals etc that over winter as adults and only need the temperature to go above 10c to wake up. Few bumble bees flying in the garden today. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=686493&v=e car4play686492 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 15:08:20 +0000 Looking at the first Red Admiral of the season as I type. Glorious sunshine here in SW. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=686492&v=e car4play686491 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 15:00:50 +0000 Without any research and based on childhood etc memories Clouded Yellow or Brimstone. http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=686491&v=e car4play686490 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 14:40:46 +0000 Saw my first butterfly of the year in the garden earlier today. What looked like a yellow cabbage white. February? http://www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?m=686490&v=e
