[Adastra] First butterfly and frog spawn of the year

[Steve]

First butterfly in our garden this year (Portslade Old Village), a red
admiral butterfly, on 24th February. The butterfly was in good condition and
appeared to be feeding on the purple colored crocuses. The crocuses, which
were in a patch of sunlight on the rockery, had opened for the first time.

 

First clump of frog spawn 26th February in our garden pond. Following a
night of heavy rain there were 5 new clumps of frog spawn and about a dozen
frogs on the 28th February.  

 

Unfortunately I was at the LNR meeting last night and missed Eggheads, how
did the Wise Owls do?
