I love a Waggie but can never see what their interest in shopping centres is all about.

Decided to have a look around the garden and found this Small White butterfly sunning itself on the laurel hedge. There were a few of these around along with two Brimstones. Did not manage an in focus pic of a Brimstone.
Not the best image but just starting to get back into closeup photos.

Good to see Ed. I have had a few butterflies passing through, not much landing while I watch...

It looks like a female Orange Tip. I have seen a couple this year plus the much more recognisable males.

First Holly Blue (I think) for me this year. Resting on a Laurel leaf in the front garden. :)

This year I have decided to look for the small life in and around my garden. Managed to get this photo of a Western Honey Bee in flight today. :)
