I have quite a number of Red Admirals enjoying my flowers and the sun
today,there seem to be more than usual this year.

I agree. It used to be a rarity as many a perceived Red Admiral was a
Tortoiseshell.

But there have been many this year!

We have a grapevine around the dining-room window, with unprecedented
quantities of grapes, this year, and an unprecedented number of red
admirals have been licking them!

Ditto, quite a few on my Hebe today. Usually its Cabbage Whites and
Peacocks and Tortoiseshells with maybe the odd Comma and Red Admiral but
they're all over my Hebe like a rash this week. Don't see many Brimstones.

We usually see Brimstones early in the year here. They're often the
first butterfly of the year that I spot.
