Red Admiral at Fleet Pond
There was definitely a hint of Spring in the air last week when I spotted my first butterfly of the season, a beautiful Red Admiral. This specimen would have overwintered as an adult and been attracted out by the mild weather to bask in the sun. I spotted it resting on the Countryside Workshop fence at Fleet Pond.
