New hope for the Wood White in Wales! 🎉
One of the rarest butterflies in the UK appears to be recolonising Wales decades after the last population died out.
It has been recorded at four sites in Powys this summer - including a female laying eggs.

Last day of the #bigbutterflycount
and it’s sunny and warm.
A Holly Blue on Hemp Agrimony, Gatekeeper on Marjoram, Speckled Wood on the ivy and Large White on Water Mint.
Happy that they like the #wildflowers I’ve planted or allowed to grow.

Congratulations to William Brame @landguardbirder.bsky.social for realising this was a different white butterfly. Now confirmed by @chrisvanswaay.bsky.social as a Southern Small White - the first seen in England. As it is a female let's hope it has been laying eggs. @matthewberry.bsky.social
