Spring is just around the corner
It's not long until spring is here, and I went out into the park on Monday, taking lots of photo's of the flowers. But I also spotted my first Butterfly of 2011, a Red Admiral. I would think that it has been hibernating and has come out to explore. They are mainly summer migrants to the UK and are commonest in July - August.

Gotta love those colours of spring, great pictures!
Greetings from way down south
Love your photos of spring flowers I have purple crocus flowering but they are the Autumn ones.
Your butterfly I wonder if it is a Yellow Admiral
Thanks for your comments Lee. The Yellow Admiral is a little bit different. I have "Googled" about them and found some links about the Yellow Admiral http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_admiral
and about the Red Admiral

I hope this helps. They are very similar.
