Butterflies from our walk 17th July 2023…
The blackberries were certainly a draw for the butterflies along the way. Here’s a Comma and a Meadow Brown
Red Admiral momentarily at rest…
A pretty Small Copper, our first sighting!
The Gatekeeper!
And a small white; this is the one most often seen in gardens…
A Large Tortoiseshell, not in great abundance this year…
Gatekeeper. Along with the Meadow Browns, these were everywhere, dancing in the air, refusing to settle to allow us a pic…
This Comma has come down to earth to allow me the chance to focus…
More blackberries, this time attracting Meadow Browns…
And that flashy Red Admiral…
Hope you enjoyed. Flowers tomorrow
These butterflies are so beautiful. And you know their names too. Awesome

I have several species frequent my garden. I’d never do any work if I stood ready with camera!

Thank you. It helped that it was a bright day (not always guaranteed in England!)
