The newspapers love this weather, headlines scream "Hotter than Greece" or other southern European countries, why we are obsessed with achieving these milestones I don't know. But it is unseasonably warm and has been for the last few weeks and looks like continuing past the changeover to GMT at the weekend.
There are many implications for this warm weather, not least the appearance of butterflies once again in the garden, nectaring on the buddleia flowers. Red Admirals have lead the way with four being present at any one time over the last few days.
Today though the Red Admirals were trumped by a pristine Painted Lady. This summer migrant to our shores was probably one moving back south.
As well as the butterflies there have been numerous bees and bumble bees.
It has been an excellent year for butterflies in the garden and it looks as if this is going to continue into November, not something I can recall before
