    Cool painted Lady butterfly migration

    Keep an eye out for Painted Lady butterflies - theres a big migration heading north across the UK at the moment. Its expected to be the biggest for at least 13 years, possibly one of the biggest ever.

    Butterfly migration is biggest for years - Butterfly Conservation

    Oh well, perhaps they hadn't made it that far. Wondered where you'd got to.
