Butterflies

After a rather wet and windy Spring last year (2024) the butterflies were few and far between, but this year's really warm and dry Spring has suited them well!

So I've been making the most of the lovely weather by photographing and learning the names of some butterflies I've seen on my walks. I hope you enjoy the photos and have had chance to see some in real life too.
