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.

Unknown said:That certainly is one of the most tatty Red Admirals I've seen. It's lost a whole half wing. Mind you, I've not seen that many this year, whole or not,
I think I've seen more Painted Ladies than RA's this year which must be a first !

Same here and by quite a large margin I think.
