#365DaysWild, British butterflies, butterflies, butterfly, Holly blue, Holly blue butterfly, Lavernock Nature Reserve
I walked almost every path, track and trail at Lavernock Nature Reserve today hoping that, in spite of the strong cold southerly wind blowing in off the sea, I might find some butterflies in the more sheltered spots … and I did โ four Speckled woods, a fine male Orange-tip, and the one butterfly I had hoped most to see, my first Holly blue and my tenth butterfly species for 2019. And what a beauty it was!
Beautiful captured๐ค

Gorgeous, and a delight to see something that colour flitting about in the greenery. ๐

What a very lovely variety. Wow 10! I have only seen a couple of types so far.

Thanks a lot, Shelly. Ten is the most I’ve seen so early in the year – not sure if that bodes well or ill for the butterflies. ๐
