Our butterflies have been showing well all over the country, from the Small Common Blue, and Scotch Argus, to the larger Purple Emperor and Swallowtail. The sun of course makes all the difference, there is nothing butterflies like more than nice warm sun,(a bit like myself)

And this was the case wandering round the patch the other day, the area was alive with this species in particular, so like a lot of birders when there is a drought as regards birding, our attention turns to other things. so blogs all over the country have been posting photos of our butterflies.

| And because of this is probably taken for granted, or overlooked in favour of something more exotic or rare | , |

But just look at this little beauty, even its colours shout out warm sunshine, its a little gem.
It is a beauty! I haven't seen too many butterflies here this season.

ReplyDeleteI'd never overlook such pure beauty. Nor the talent that captured it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful colors. I might have been a butterfly in a previous life (a brief one ;>)...because I too definitely feel better and more active on a sunny day!
