An Orange-Tip Butterrfly on the Erith Southern Marsh

We saw an Orange-Tip Butterfly on the Erith Southern Marsh. Also a Brimstone Butterfly and a Peacock Butterfly.

According to Butterfly Conservation, 'there were a couple of freakishly early Sightings back in January but your one is likely to represent the start of the proper Flight Season'. *


There were also a few Butterflies viz. two Peacock Butterflies, three Brimstone Butterflies and seven Comma Butterflies, on/beside the Footpath that runs between Bazalgette Way and the Nature Reserve (which is now Closed).

* pipped at the post (by a day) by Butterflies in Nottinghamshire and Surrey.
