The Monarch first seen and photographed by Anne McCue on 17th June was seen & photographed again by her and others on 18th & 19th after roosting in an evergreen tree.It was last seen at about 1130 on 19th and so could have been the one seen at 1330 at Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight flying from the north-east,the direction of Gosport.The arrival of the Monarch coincided with the arrival of Clouded Yellows recorded on 18th in Hampshire(including Gosport),Somerset,Dorset & Sussex,so that the Monarch is likely to have been a wild migrant from southern Spain,Madeira,the Canary Islands,or even blown off course from northward migration in North America,rather than a deliberate or accidental release of one bred in captivity locally.
