I am getting mostly large and Small Whites at present although a couple of Small Tortoiseshells put in an appearance yesterday. I report my visiting Butterflies on the BTO Garden Birdwatch every week when they are present.

Some I got on a walk. It was very busy with butterflies. Getting close was the problem.

I forgot post yesterday but I had a Small Skipper around the garden yesterday. This is a type of Butterfly and not a sea going person of little stature. :rolleyes:
