At Last.... Butterflies!

We spent the morning at Littleferry, in bright sunshine with light winds. For most of the time we wandered the links, watched by what I took to be a young stonechat. But what made the day so special was that, at last....

....the insects were out in force, particularly common blue butterflies, in....

....a variety of bright and faded blues, and small heath butterflies, along with a few....

....larger species - I think this may be a dark green fritillary.

That other insects managed to get themselves into these pictures shows how many were about. I suppose that....

....with it being such a dreary, damp summer so far, they were, like us, making as much use of a fine day as possible.
