Notes:
1.Seen by a near-neighbour, Margaret Smith. Previously I had seen a White Admiral on 7th July
2007, the first ever sighting by me in Kingston, though there is a possibility of another some years previously. The latest sighting suggests that there might
be a small colony in the vicinity.
2. Previous to this, the last one seen in Kingston by me was in 2004, though one has been reported since.
