Fluttering About

What a glorious early Spring day it was on Thursday.
By late morning the temperature had reached a heady12.5C
I decided to check the heathers to see what was about.
There along with dozens of bees were three Small Tortoiseshell butterflies:

Making a change from yellow were some small clumps of Chionodoxa forbesi (Glory of the Snow):

Yet another brief visit to the camera nestbox by both Great Tits this morning:

    How wonderful to see not one but three Small Tortoiseshells - lovely photo. I haven't seen a butterfly yet this year. We used to have a lot of Glory of the Snow plants but sadly over the years they have slowly disappeared. Great news about the nest box :)
