3 days of sunshine & Butterflies galore. Well, not really but we did see 3 Brimstones a Red Admiral & a Peacock. I did get a shot of the Brimstone flying, but I think trying to photograph Butterflies in flight is one of the first signs of madness. Anyway, it's high time I started this thread.

I'm still waiting for Painted Ladies to appear despite having a Buddleia in full bloom.
Too hot to go out butterfly hunting but had a few others in the garden recently.
A very tatty Marbled White
Common Blue also in the grass.

I think we've got one more day to survive ....... up to a possible 38 or 39 C here in the south and then Atlantic fronts move in.

Written confirmation of this is of some relief to me.!! ;-)
