On Sunday 18th August at about 2.30 pm I saw Danaus plexipus (Monarch butterfly) in the garden. It settled on some geraniums and I got a good look at it but unfortunately no photograph. It was extemely worn, with most of the orange colour worn away and just the black veins showing. It flew away along the hedge line and passed me on the way back and then disappeared. From a distance it looked the size of a sparrow in flight!
