“After a couple of years with only single common whitethroat, today 5 males were spread across my Leopard Hill, Worcester patch 😃. Also had a flyover little egret. A Painted Lady was a nice surprise. @worcswt.bsky.social #worcsbirds”

“Spot the migrant Painted Lady nectaring on Sea Pink on a stunning Isle of May day”

“Painted Lady, scarce locally last year but 3 seen so far this year. This one was very obliging in that it paused to feed on Bluebell flowers. If you look at the head of the butterfly in the second picture you can see it has its proboscis inside the floral tube to reach nectar.”
