Photos from our walk on 15th June 2026. Butterflies weren’t so much scarce, as shy of the camera. Damselflies made up for the lack. Enjoy these few that I managed to snap

🔼 Broad-bodied Chaser, the first I’ve ever seen, so happy with this 🔽 These next two look to be different, but Google Images insist they are both Common Blue Damselflies ⏬

🔽 Large Red Damselfly, male. Don’t you just love how they’re named!

🔽 And here’s the troublemaker. I was so determined to get the photo that I wrenched my ankle and had to cut short the day. What is it? Can you see it? It’s a Brimstone butterfly and it’s right in the centre of the photo, hanging onto the purple flower

This is a bit like Where’s Waldo …. only more difficult! I obviously need new specs; I can’t see the Brimstone butterfly!

They are excellently camouflaged. It’s hanging beneath the purple flower centre picture. Looks like a green leaf!

It was flitting. Followed the flit and hoped it would settle. Which it did. But not in an easy place to line up the photo, hence the ankle

So sorry ypou wrenched you ankle- didn’t you just get over an ankle injury recently? And thanks for pointing out the butterfly in the last shot- I had to enlarge it to see it but- beautiful!
