A large Buddleia next-door, plus some nice sunbathing surfaces have brought in quite a few butterflies the last few days. Plenty of Red Admirals, including this rather beaten up one, Peacocks, Small Tortoiseshells, Large & Small Whites, the odd Comma and Holly Blue and a single Brimstone. I didn’t add a new butterfly species for a couple of years, but while it would be nice to get something different you can’t help but enjoy watching (and snapping) these superb creatures. Shame the Sun (and most of the butterflies) have disappeared today.
