Not a bird, but...

...in these desperate times I hope Richard will indulge this! A male Brimstone butterfly flew through my garden an hour ago. Mike Davey, John Stephens and I saw one on 16 March while looking for firecrests (the last day a firecrest was seen), Mike saw a couple a day or two later in the same area, and I saw two on 25 March. This is quite unheard of in Pembrokeshire, according to the County Butterfly Recorder. If anyone else is seeing them I'm sure David Redhead would like to know. I attach one of my photos of a male on lesser celandine, and one of Mike's of a female with a bite out of one wing.
