Hi Hazel
Love your thread.
Here is a Small Copper we saw at Wrabness today. Rather overcast, and not that warm, so we feel lucky to have seen any butterflies..

That's probably the only way I could get one to pose for me at the moment and I'd much rather a bumble bee than a spider. I'm happy to take photos of spiders but I wouldn't want a big one standing on me!
A nice Small Copper, Karen, I've not seen any yet this year.

Female Orange Tip.
I've no idea what type the plant is.
My bird photos HERE
Very nice, Paul. The underwing of the female is really nicely marked.
I got my first Holly Blue of the year. I've been seeing them for quite a while but wouldn't settle.
lovely photo and species Paul and Tony (we had a holly blue in the garden yesterday but it never paused for a photo and disappeared over the garage roof, same with Orange Tip ! )
I saw plenty of Orange Tip along with Speckled Wood, Small White, Peacock and Comma butterflies today at Leighton Moss as it was a beautiful sunny day which brought out the flutterbys and the dragonflies,
Couldn't get an OT to settle so had to be content with Small White (I think ! ) male Green-veined White (thanks to Tony) and a Comma ......
