Just to confirm yesterday's sighting, a pair of peacock butterflies (Aglais io; Tagpfauenauge in 🇩🇪) were out again today in the warm sunshine, feeding off some early flowers.

Here's one of them soaking up the photons on some ivy. They tend to be among the earliest butterflies to emerge after wintering-over.
