Small tortoiseshell hatch at the Centre.
We had a big hatch of the Small tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae) chrysalids today. We let them go outside the Centre where they flew off during what was probably the hottest and sunniest day of our 'summer' so far...

Aww! I'm sorry I missed it but glad they had a good day for their release.
