A butterfly trip with some annual firsts, something I've never seen before, and misbehaving Google Lens (possibly!)

Great set PB.

Thanks Bob

Great to see all the butterflies plus a mega sized HBHM.
I think google is teasing you about the Geranium Argus as the UK is well outside it's range. According to my reference book the two species of blue present are the Common and the Adonis.

Thanks Jack, I was being facetious about the Geranium Blue, I know it's unlike me!!

I think you can slap Google Lens wrist on this one - It's a Chalkhill female
Well done on getting the Grayling, and its hearting to see so many females of the blue families - Hopefully there are still a few chaps about
the PL's look very smart. A good flutterby session
PS how did you get the Walls to settle? what magic did you use - skittish is my term for them esp when its hot!

lol, thanks Cin... have I ever told you that I hate blues??!! And not only that, I only saw one with blue wings, and that was as it was flying!!!
I didn't need magic for the Wall's, just a silly early start so they were still warming up, I think it was just after 8

Just be careful that might come back and bite you the chances of you getting Geranium Bronze - Cacyreus Marshalli are increasing
