User's notes

A Monarch Butterfly, likely female, found dead early July. I’ve been seeing a few butterflies, Monarchs, possibly ?brown ringlets?, and (mostly) some medium-large unidentified white ones, all through Winter, which feels most unusual. ?Climate change? Monarchs are listed as transient for the Copmanhurst area and the North Coast of NSW generally, so even more of a surprise. The Monarch was seen seen laying eggs in August.
