The first local sighting this year?. Good afternoon and a Happy New Year to you all.
I've just received a mailing reporting the first local, Borough of Basingstoke, butterfly sighting this year - a Peacock in a Meadow Road front garden late this morning (per Doug. Kelson). [Posted by Peter E. Hutchins]
First of 2020 on Portsdown Hill. On a ridiculously mild morning I came across this lovely Red Admiral appreciating the warm sunshine by basking on a telegraph pole on Portsdown hill. [Posted by Mark Tutton]
