Photobomb

When photographing this Silver washed Fritillary this Meadow Brown just couldn’t resist getting in on the act.

A Warm Summers Evening

In the warm light of the summer evening on Wednesday we watched a Buddleia bush come alive with butterflies. White and Red Admirals, Brimstones, Peacocks, Meadow Browns and Gatekeepers as well as the odd Grayling.

I thought the stars of the show were the Silver Washed Fritillaries; three on one flower was good. That was until a couple of White Letter Hairstreaks came down from the treetops to feed.
