New Species - Clouded Yellow

It's been a few years since I've recorded a new butterfly species and whilst I did see a Clouded Yellow a couple of miles away recently I wasn't expecting to see one here. We used to see these immigrant butterflies some years in Kent and Sussex when we lived there but this must be a bumper year for them to reach here. All to do with the heatwave I guess. The one I saw was a female - I'm hoping she was aiming to lay some eggs!
