Yesterday was great it was like a Butterfly Gatwick they were all over the place down here in Oxfordshire. Long may it last . More and more people seem to appreciate these free delights of nature.
Managed to take a photo of a Small Blue (I think!) today - first shot I've ever managed with the wings part open - they are tricky blighters as they don't land for long and usually keep their wings closed when they do!
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

Saw my first comma and a white (don't know which one) yesterday...4 different species seen this week, great!
Peacocks yesterday.
Saw my first white today and a small tortoiseshell. No orange tips yet. They usually turn up about now.
