Increasingly we’re seeing the butterflies. Unfortunately not increasingly managing to photograph them. Too busy flitting

Tip: Don’t cast your shadow over them! First thing in morning is usually good since they’re basking to soak up the heat (think of them as snakes and dinosaurs, same metabolism) Other than that, pray to the fairies for added luck 😉
