| | | Brimstones
Whilst driving around doing my work today, I counted more than a dozen Brimstone butterflies along the roadside banks and hedges, mostly singles, but occasionally a pair (well, two, anyway!). 
It was so nice to see them on a lovely sunny day, really cheered me up.  |

Hi Jennie,there certainly are few Brimstones out now .When you say pair ,were all a nice yellow colour,as these are males.I have only seen the yellow brightly coloured males out so far near me, which emerge first.

Jason, I think they were all males, but with the bright sun on them and me having just a quick look from a moving vehicle, some may have been female. |

I haven't seen any butterflies yet this year. It's the longest period I've gone in recent years without seeing some around somewhere.  |

I must go for a walk down my favourite deep sunny lane, and see what is about.

I saw my second of the year on Sunday when a male was flying in breezy, overcast conditions at Kew. |
