Counting Butterflies

Oh my goodness so many butterflies in the garden today.   Fortunately I paid no attention to my husband’s comments the other day when he said the buddleia bush needed cutting back outside the kitchen window.  The buddleia is still covered in flowers and until they go to seed I shall leave them for the butterflies to sip the nectar.

Red Admirals, Peacocks, Gatekeepers, Commas and the beautiful Silver Washed Fritillaries – a pair!   The rain may be coming again tomorrow but the butterflies were certainly making the most of the warm sunshine today.
