I came across this little beauty today, sunning itself on the wall.

How lovely, but definately the wrong time of year to see one!

Mr bj spotted one in Balham yesterday, then we had a walk round Kew Gardens this morning where we saw a Musk Willow (not that I've heard of one ) which had catkins covered in pollen & was buzzing with bees & another red admiral (unless of course it had flown from Balham!)

Lovely, Pauline.   ;D

I've got plenty of caterpillars munching on my primroses so I'm hoping for some butterflies too, soon.   ;D
