December
2012. Was driving along today (December 18th), a nice sunny day with
temperatures hovering around 7-8 degrees, when something fluttered across my
bows. Unfortunately, I was armed with only a mobile phone camera, so my apologies
for the quality, but the image does show a peacock butterfly.
Unusual
Although it is quite unusual, several butterflies can sometimes be seen flying in the UK, even in mid-winter. Peacock and Red admirals are probably the most common, and small tortoiseshell can be found sheltering in houses and other building.
