    This little creature was flying in and out of the garden all morning - and finally settled so I could get this shot!

    I hadn't seen a Holly Blue for a few years so was pleased to see one in the garden today, seen here on a Marigold flower.

    This is supposed to be common but is the first one I've seen. Open wings were vivid blue but I could only get a closed wing shot.

    Just one more photo, its such a stunning butterfly I can't take my eyes off them when they are in my garden. The flower is very prickly but wonderful yellow, the Gorse bush.

    I managed to take this closeup with the kit zoom lens Zuiko Digital 14-42 mm f3.5/5.6. I'm pretty pleased with the result.
