Clouded Yellow

This scarce migrant, occasionally reaching southern England from continental Europe, is always a delight to see.  Its vivid colouration, showing an orange-tinged upper wing in flight, and deep yellow and green under wing, is conspicuous and unique.  One was found just outside the Inclosure in August, 2015, then, after a five year absence, two were seen in 2020.  The first was a brief fly past, but the second, on the final week of the year, stayed long enough to photgraph.  In 2022, a single individual was seen on two consecutive weeks in September.
