After a bit of a lull from the spring butterflies the sunshine brought some different ones into the garden today. My first two Large Whites and a Red Admiral

This little beauty appeared in my garden today. It is a Little Skipper. I thought I saw one last week but it was gone before I could manage a proper ID. this one was not so camera shy.

Wow - brilliant, Jacksparrow

A short visit to a local nature reserve produced these today.

Marbled White


Gatekeeper


Ringlet

[Jacksparrow]

....and there's more

Comma


Speckled Brown
There were others but they were camera shy or the photographer was too slow

Great stuff, Jacksparrow

Email from Ark Wildlife today - Big Butterfly Count, 19/7 - 10/8. "Come and join Sir David Attenborough" !!! OK then .......

This coming week should be good for Butterflies. I am seeing plenty of Whites with a smattering of Peacocks and Small tortoiseshell. My Buddleia is in full flower and doing its best to attract them.

Oh, sorry - it seems to be a bit small .......
