Clouded Yellow Butterfly at Little Cressingham, Norfolk, 5th August

During the afternoon of 5th August I was checking habitat for signs of migrant birds near 'The Arms' at Little Cressingham.  A mixed habitat comprising mostly Bramble produced brief glimpses of expected species, Blackcap and Whitethroat.
Whilst checking the habitat I saw a bright Yellow Butterfly which showed all characteristics of Clouded Yellow.  This was typically for the species, a strong flying Butterfly which gave me the 'run around' until it settled on the ground.

Clouded Yellow Butterflies are migrants from North Africa with the majority turning up along the south coast of England and with a few individuals being seen further north, like this particular insect.

There are occasionally 'Clouded Yellow' years when numbers turn up in the UK, otherwise it is quite scarce in other years.
