Clouded Yellow. Photo: Gary Holderness

Gary has just sent in this photo telling us:

After a tip off from fellow transect walker who saw it yesterday, I went to Southbourne today, 03/12/2025 hoping to see probably my last Clouded Yellow on the wing for this year.

As luck would have it around lunchtime when the sun was out and it had warmed up a bit it appeared. Briefly nectaring and sunning itself before more cloud rolled in, it then disappeared into the undergrowth. A British December Clouded Yellow – a first for me.
