After Storm Amy it brightened up a little this morning. This Red Admiral to the chance of a bit of sunlight. I wonder how many more we will see this year. A bit later I saw a white flying around too, despite the wind. #butterfly

Two Butterflies on a dull dry afternoon sandwiched between a wet morning and a wet evening.
Saw this lovely comma today, according to butterfly conservation the unusual wing shape allows them to hibernate among dead leaves.
Apart from the orchids yesterday there was a lot of flowering going on.

Walked up to Greenside reservoir this afternoon. Still bright, but light grey coverage and a bit of a cool breeze, felt like rain on its way. First fritillary I’ve photographed this year. there were a few feeding on Fox & Cubs, colour match meant I nearly missed them.
On the path to Greenside Reservoir. Lots of butterfly around. Also a weasel just to the side of the path, on hind legs, upright looking at us, disappeared down a vole tunnel in the grass. #butterflies #nature
