Two photos from Donald sent in telling us:

Today, 30/03/2024 on a sunny day we went for our first walk for a week – we went to Harley Down for the Birds, Butterflies and Bluebells. We also saw plenty of hares, grazing and chasing each other and my first Bee-fly of the year.

On the way there Val saw 15 Brimstones whilst we were driving through Moordown, Northbourne and Kinson. Whilst on our walk I saw 13 Brimstones, 1 Peacock, 1 Comma and 1 Orange Tip, our first of the year.
