Your butterfly news is amazing! I saw a couple in Dorset in early December, but January??? But the birds are starting to chirp & ‘twitterpate’ (©Walt Disney) and the foxes are already yowling in the mean streets of West London, so maybe Spring is just round the corner. Then it’s midsummer, the nights drawing in and… oh, it’s Xmas again already… RH

Quite some of these January butterfly species winter in the adult phase. But usually, they hide at a warm spot then. Maybe the warmer than usually weather now brings them out.
