Lovely photo Mr Kes. One of the few butterflies I regularly see in the garden.

Thanks Linda. It was a good year for butterflies here in Sussex for me. Saw a number of new ones this summer. Saw a Clouded Yellow today in a similar place to where I once saw one about 3 years ago. Unfortunately I could not photograph it as it flew off. Anyhow might try again tomorrow. Thanks for your kind comments.

Thanks SnappyMac. Have seen quite a number of Holly Blues this year too, not one I often see many of.

Not seen one of these before so that was a surprise visit this summer.
