They were just about on every conceiveable surface in my garden; nectaring on flowers, sitting on gravel, sitting on the fence, sitting on the shrubs, spiralling up into the sky in dogfights. I've never seen anything like it before. I do flattery myself that the reason they dropped in rather than pass over was because I have butterfly friendly nectar plants for them to feed on.
Thanks Susie, I've just had a mooch at that sight - it looks good! I think I might join the forum .
