[OT] Early butterfly

wrote: I saw a butterfly in the garden this afternoon. It had a brown hairy body, orangish wings with dark brown spots. It's not a subject I know anything about but this does seem fairly early. Any expert knowledge out there? Probably a small tortoiseshell. I saw one too this afternoon. They can sit out the winter in houses and buildings and be roused by a rise in temperature such as today.

I pruned my roses today too. Max temp 17.6C. Some early cloud but clear and sunny from then on. Marvelous!
