Can our little star Katrin survive the winter in her current location, or does she expect someone to take her home again when she is cold?

I don't know if it has ever been observed that BS wintered in Katrin's current area. But on the very nearby island of Lesbos, it has been reported several times. I suppose that the climate is very similar.
Cool(er) winter days are not a big problem for BS. As long as the water bodies don't get frozen and there is a good availability of food. Winters in Çandarlı are mild.
We will have to wait and see what Katrin decides.
Edit:
The climate in Çandarlı is warm and temperate. The winters are rainier than the summers. According to Köppen and Geiger, this climate is classified as Csa* (*hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters). The annual average temperature here is 17.0°C. In a year, the total rainfall is 664 mm.
WEATHER BY MONTH:
July is the warmest month of the year. The temperature in July averages 26.7°C.
