Peacock Butterfly (Aglais io)

In 2013 we had a trip back to the UK to visit family and friends. While we were staying in Yorkshire, our friends recommended visiting the Nosterfield Local Nature Reserve, a small reserve a few miles away. Plenty of birds as well as butterflies.

These are real beautiful butterflies I think Helen. I've always had problems with blowing the whites on their 'eyes' LOL.

That's a fantastic job you've done with this one.

Could you try and remember to do the Tags on your pics please lass?
