The First Brimstone

Brimstone Gonepteryx ramni (21/09/2008)

Amazingly, only an hour or so after writing the previous post, in which I was looking forward, more in hope than expectation to the first butterfly of the year, I came across a beautiful male Brimstone in a little patch of sunlight at the edge of a forest clearing near Wendover. I was surprised to see a butterfly as the day did not feel that warm, in fact the temperature reading in my car on the way home only read 9 degrees Celsius. What an nice surprise!
