Thanks for that. I usually find BBC articles but missed that one.

Despite their fragility it is amazing the journey they achieve :!:

NB, one of our sons (a keen nature watcher) was stationed on Ascension Island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean for 18 months and he observed a surprising range of butterflies, including monarchs and painted ladies, during his time there.

We have seen a monarch on Walney Island in Morecambe Bay in the past. Unfortunately, it was very tatty and tired and probably died soon afterwards.
