BUTTERFLIES

[peregrine]

Saw first butterfly last week at a distance. Think it was a Peacock because of the main colour.

Must have been a convention somewhere close - Orange Tips. Didn't count them but I reckon I saw about 7 or 8 in the course of today. First this season

It has been a good week for Butterflies. Orange Tips, Large Whites, Brimstones and some small blue ones either Holly Blue or Common Blue(I never got close enough for a proper ID) an a single Peacock.

Video I got today.

They're all quite rare - the Devonshire Technicolour Daytime Moths (DTDM). Very localised.

What a lovely video, Willpar nice to see them at the flowers - love the last sequence with the buttercup and dandelion parachutes

Saw this one last Wednesday:



Small White, I think.

[Jacksparrow]

More likely a female Orange Tip

Oh ok

[Jacksparrow]

The fine weather has brought out some nice Butterflies. 2 Brimstone and 1 Red Admiral thus far.
