Buddleia Visitors

On Friday we welcomed the first butterfly to come in to our garden since the previous Friday, a tortoiseshell which spent its time contending with the bees that were massed on the marjoram flowers.

Then ,yesterday, we had the pleasure of seeing the first butterfly on one of the many buddleia which are bursting into flower, where it was joined by....

....the tortoiseshell, which was the one butterfly I was able to submit in my entry for the Big Butterfly Count.

Today is grey again and there's a gusty north-westerly wind blowing so, sadly, we're unlikely to see much in the way of butterfly visitors.
