I was really excited by it. It was only a week prior to that that I saw my first damselfly of the year! <br /><br />Yesterday, a local birder (county recorder) was commenting to me about the worrying lack of Willow Warbler locally this year. I admit that I hadn't noticed, but I'll be keeping my eyes open now.<br /><br />Best wishes - - - - RichardRichard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003192502289547336.post-68575532842701133362015-06-16T21:48:46.009+01:002015-06-16T21:48:46.009+01:00The longest butterfly migration in the world, almo...The longest butterfly migration in the world, almost twice as long as that of the Monarch butterfly.<br /><br />Thank you for the kind remark about Birds2blog Paul, it did wonders for me.
