I'm attaching a pic of one… they are so beautiful that I can't resist adding a pic of one taken there to this thread! |=)|Gavia, that Dappled White is right :t: :t: :t:!!!

The weather during last weekend was bad, and so it seems will be next one! But yesterday and today was beautiful, so I had a couple of lovely walks at lunch time to see what I could find. My highlights were Orangetip (finally, :bounce:, and many of them!), Holly Blue (pic 2), Dingy Skipper and Wood White (pic 3), but there were as well the expected Brimstone, Cleopatra, Speckled Wood, Green-veined White, Small White, Clouded Yellow and Red Admiral, along with Small Tortoiseshell (which I don't see very often in my place).Cheers!</blockquote>
