Many thanks to Kithra for sending this story which BTW came in before the recent cold snap:A Falmouth wildlife photographer has snapped a butterfly in his garden – a full two months before the creatures normally emerge for the spring. Steve Ogden snapped the image of the Speckled Wood butterfly – and says it is the latest example of how the extremely mild winter is confusing our wildlife.

Ladybirds are also being reported. I think they must have believed all that hooey about global warming. I'm frozen.
