From Martin Robinson : "I accidently disturbed a hibernating Peacock in Lane End, Bucks (SU805918). Freezing daytime temperatures so helped it find a dark sheltered space to continue its hibernation."

From Chris Carter : "A Comma was flying around a little unsteadily at 1.30pm and has now settled in roosting, or perhaps continued hibernation, posture on a coloured-stem Cornus in our garden at Alvescot, Oxon (SP271040). The weather is suddenly much milder after overnight snow, now almost entirely gone, but still very dank and uninviting. The whole thing was visible from where I am sitting; I haven't even had to get up and can still see it! "
