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.
This is the link to last years thread https://community.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/f/all-creatures/196195/beautiful-butterflies-2018/1219455#1219455

Hi,
We were lucky enough to holiday in Carzola in Spain this year, and I snapped two butterflies I hadnt seen before! The first (I think) was a Lang's short-tailed blue, or zebra blue. The second was a Mediterranean Fritillary, also known as El Capitaine! Result!
My family think I'm mad rushing off into the bushes with my smart phone, however it keeps me amused!

Over the moon in September when I found a Silver-Washed Fritillery floating around the garden, feeding on the verbenas. I then remembered that I had planted some violets (the caterpillar food plant) in the garden, the year before!
Hi Gaynor Great photos. Can I ask if they are drinking from the hydrangea, or just resting on it? I only ask as I'm tempted to plant another Hydrangea... Thanks Russ

Great news, I'm sure you will have brilliant time. And, of course, we will be expecting photos - lots of them. LOL
