The rest of the Butterfly holiday photos are going to have to wait but I took a picture of this when I was in the garden in Hucclecote last month not on a budlea but there’s bramble’s next to it
Iv also got some recent butterflys cause I saw a Red admiral in the garden in Kingsway and then this month I managed to get a few pictures of a few species of butterflys so il send those when Iv transfered those
Kingsway, Gloucestershire
Wednesday 9th August
Gloucester and Sharpness Canal
Gatekeeper
On the way to the gate and the drawbridge but in the strip of shrubs down the path on the side. The gatekeeper obviously wanted to do what gatekeepers do and we had to wait for the gate to open at the bridge after a boat went past before we could cross
Wait for it Wendy!!!!
