Everything else was on view from Common Blue, Peacock, Small Tortoiseshell, Speckled Wood, Small White, Large White, Green-veined White, Gatekeeper, Ringlet, Meadow Brown but the plethora of these summer butterflies was reduced due to ride clearing of the nectar flowers but it was an idyllic day, unless you were a Blackbird.
I came home absolutely buzzing with the most enjoyable two hours behind me, had a sandwich and looked into the garden to see a Purple Hairstreak feeding on the Buddleia. Talk about all or nothing!!!
