Garden Butterflies

I have not seen many butterflies in my Redesdale garden this year. Not yet, at least. I expect that when the buddleia bushes flower there will be more. The garden list includes both Large and Small Whites, Orange Tip, Peacock, Comma, Small Tortoiseshell and Red Admiral. All of the pictures here were taken in 2008.

Large White (Pieris brassicae)

Comma (Polygonia c-album)

Peacock (Inachis io)

    That is a lovely set of images Emma. I hope you get more soon as the Summer moves on.

    It's a little surprising Emma as this year seems to have been such a good year for Butterflies, particluarly Ringlet which are everywhere.

    Although I've seen quite a few about on my visits, I've had very few actually visiting my garden this year Emma.
    Maybe a sudden influx soon? I hope so.

    I think you have seen more butterflies in your garden than I have in mine, Emma. Some passing trough from time to time but few visitors. Much less than last year but it may be early here yet.

    Love your butterfly photos and the singing Robin in the header picture.
