Flutterers are Aloft!

Finally, after I had sightsee'd the poppies, I was able to continue my 10km run and happily report that there were a fair few butterflies aloft! Large and small skipper are newly out today, and I saw common blue, large white and common blue as well.

AND I WAS ABLE TO PHOTOGRAPH THEM!

Please enjoy!

Common blue

It was very fond of birds foot trefoil

Rather crop zoomed, I'm afraid

About face

Deeper blues

    Some great images of the blue........I may be wrong, but I believe birds foot trefoil is their host plant.
    Love your bees and butterflies Simon........a good start to my day.

    I haven't seen many butterflies this year. Caught sight of a couple of blues and a marbled white while we were in Hampshire last week.
