You're not the only one surprised, Gianna. I saw a Red Admiral in the garden
in Wokingham this morning. The book says that they arrive in May from the
continent, but I wonder if this one over-wintered here.


I think it must have.
I have since become even more surprised ...

I also saw a flower which seems to be a Birdseye Primrose (P. farinosa).
I would not have expected to find it here, and certainly not on this date.
Happily, I made several photographs of that so am certain I did not imagine it.
