With some warm Spring days, butterflies have emerged and can be seen flying around. A few photographs from these days.
24th March near Tidenfoot Pit Leighton Buzzard, Small Tortoiseshell, a photo for the record...
...and a Comma.
30th March, again near Tidenfoot Pit, a Peacock....
....and another Comma.
9th April, at Incombe Hole. Steps Hill, near Ivinghoe Beacon, a Grizzly Skipper feeding on a Dandelion....
....A worn Red Admiral.....
.....and finally, a Green Hairstreak that was so accommodating that I managed to take this photo with a macro.
Apart from these butterflies, I have seen Brimstone at all 3 days, never settling long enough to get a photo, as well as Small White, male Orange Tip never settling at Incombe Hole, and a Holly Blue passing through my garden in April. 10 species so far this year.
