Re: Painted Ladies

Yesterday (26th May 09) I witnessed with a friend, something that I've never seen before. Literally 1000's (yes thousands) of Painted Ladies along the coastline between St Margarets and Kingsdown in Kent. As we walked, clouds of them rose up from the pathway and we had to be careful not to tread on them.
As I've mentioned earlier in this thread, the day before we saw hundreds, near Hastings, but this was a significantly larger, many times larger. It was an amazing experience.
Hopefully with all these butterflies arriving, all the country will get the pleasure of their company.
