On May 25th, I witnessed a small part of the biggest Painted Lady invasion into the UK for a generation. The first butterfly seen was from the lounge, as one briefly descended to a flowerbed and then flew off south (?) over the house. Later in the garden, ones and twos were observed at tree top height flying over roughly every minute in a North to Northwesterly direction - fantastic. The attached photo is not from the garden, but from a local walk a few years ago.
