Seen a Southern Small White? Difficult to distinguish from other whites. James Corton, Suffolk Butterfly Recorder, has produced a guide based on data from @chrisvanswaay an expert on the species. Go to our home page suffolkbutterflies.org.uk & click on the link to the guide.

Very pleased to see a Clouded Yellow on Hutchinson's Bank NR in Surrey today @BC_Surrey Never a migrant species to be taken for granted and in some years highly elusive @savebutterflies @WildlifeTrusts @KissimmeeWild @Britnatureguide
