First of the season.

I' have seen other butterflies this year but this is the first I've managed to photograph. This Comma was in my garden this afternoon.

Such a joy to see them hope it stays mild enough but forecast not so good for this week - what a struggle they have.

Brilliant photo and butterfly.I like the Commas though find it difficult often to get a good photo of one a bit like the Brimstone,they are difficult as well...

Thanks for your nice comments. This one was quite easy to photograph as it stayed reasonably still for a while.
Bonkers, I have seen the forecast and can only agree with you that it may well be unpleasant for these little guys. I hope that those that have emergedcan find a nice cosy nook to hide in during any intemperate weather.

Become a butterfly!
Thanks Marguerite. Your not the only one who finds it difficult to photograph them. I probably take twenty shots of butterfly blurs as they fly away to every one reasonable pic I get. I guess butterflies are the same the world over. Very flighty creatures.
