Starting to get cabin fever, so it was a relief to get out with the cameras this lunchtime. What a lovely day.

Out in the gardens at lunchtime, Small Coppers were everywhere. I hardly saw any other butterflies. What photogenic little fellows they are.

Butterflies


Wall Brown (living up to its name)

Small Tortoiseshell

Small Copper


Red Admiral

Peacock

These were all taken on our way to the mythical Nanjizal valley (with the exception of the Small Copper which was at Nanjizal Bay). It's amazing what a south-facing granite wall, covered in flowering ivy, can do...
