Clouded Yellow in Barry garden

This morning, whilst trimming mother-in-law's box hedges, a fresh male Clouded Yellow bumbled across her garden. Garden backs on to Porthkerry Park, so right next to coast. Several Holly Blues were also around the woodland edge. This is only my second Clouded Yellow this year, the first being on Ogmore Down in early June during our High Brown Fritillary habitat surveys.

  2. hi Richard
    Saw my first Clouded Yellow on Tuesday in Creigiau. A pristine male flitting around a neighbour's front garden. Unmistakeable.
