Springing into action

It's all kicked off this weekend - the first decent night in the garden traps (20 of 8sp. on Saturday night) and today was glorious with the first butterflies flitting about. Best of the bunch so far is this Grey Shoulder-knot - used to be a county scarcity but just about annual in my garden now.
