Another December butterfly in Enham Alamein. Whilst tidying up after yesterday's rain, I was surprised to see a Peacock butterfly flying round our roof at 11:30 this morning. It landed on a south facing wall and remained long enough to have its picture taken, my last sighting of 2025?? [Posted by Kevin Haggar]

Late butterflies in Chandlers Ford. Returning from a morning shopping trip in beautiful winter sunshine we were surprised to see a female Brimstone flying along the wooded edge of Hocombe Road, Chandlers Ford. As we arrived home we were greeted by a second butterfly. It was a Red Admiral flying around winter-flowering honeysuckle in our front garden, then basking on a window frame. The temperature was 12oC, and in sheltered areas it was pleasantly warm. [Posted by Andy Barker]

Red Admiral reappearance in Enham Alamein. This morning's sunshine triggered the reappearance of Sunday's Red Admiral in Enham Alamein, this time it hung around long enough to have its picture taken. (Hopefully it will find somewhere suitable to overwinter.) [Posted by Kevin Haggar]
