It was heartening this morning, after the coldest night so far this autumn, with the temperature dropping to 5C, to find two red admirals in our sunny front garden, both making use of plants which we have put in over the last three years, lupins....
As anyone who has been following this blog will know, it's been a miserable summer here for butterflies, quite at odds with the general finding of the recent Big Butterfly Count which reported that most species weren't doing too badly. At least in one thing we agree: the butterfly which has prospered most is the red admiral.
