Lovely images Bill... that does seem early for the Brimstones, hope there is sufficient food around for them 🤞

Thanks Helen. No I'm afraid I couldn't see much that might be food for them. They were quite high up on Dartmoor so its still quite cool. Normally they're out in mid March which might give them a better start.

Much drumming Bill? My first lesser spots drumming yesterday but only a little @lesserspotnet.bsky.social

Yes drumming but no calling Ed. It appeared drumming for another birder before eight am and again when I saw it drumming for two/three minutes at about eight fifteen am.

Thanks Bill. Lovely day yesterday. Great to see some Brimstones. I didnt see any but a couple of Red Admirals were nice. Not so lovely today.
