My First

butterfly of 2020 that is. Small Tortoiseshell.
High on the Minster wall (York) would have been better with more reach but the little TZ200 at 1/3 the weight of its big cousin FZ1K is a convenient compromise. Same sensor too.

It is very early in the year to be seeing butterflies, but then, a lot of signs of spring seem very early this year.

Well done, you've got there before me!

@fishers the very first was seen January 1st. This is not too unusual as 5 species over winter as imago (adults) but Large and Small Whites have been seen and so has a Holly Blue. DEFINITELY unusual and a source of concern.

@koalagardens @janturnbull It was flitting around looking for a hot spot to soak up the sun. Thank you.
