Message from Linda:

Last night, moths invaded my room - not through the window, but from the main corridor in Deerhurst Ward, Delancey Hospital, Cheltenham. One was a Brimstone Moth. Outside, there's a mature pear tree and I've watched a blue butterfly, large whites and a speckled wood on shrubs below it.

There are quite a lot of dandelions in the garden at the moment, as it's run a little wild while we await the arrival of a guy to do some work on it next week. These seem to be attracting butterflies. The Orange Tip I saw the other day was feeding on one [I've seen more of those round and about]. This morning a Peacock was flying from one dandelion to the next.
