Two photos from Donald both taken in his Bournemouth garden on 17/03/2024 and sent in telling us:

Today we had some warm sunshine and I thought I ought to look more closely at the garden. Lots of bees, small hoverflies, flies and a few small spiders tells me that the garden is in good shape.  My spirits were lifted when I saw 2 Brimstones and a Peacock butterfly flying around, feeding and sunning themselves.
