There’s something quite startling about a tiny blue creature flying through your field of vision – it’s certainly eyecatching. I saw my first Holly blue of the year during Sunday’s meander but that one didn’t linger for a photograph. Yesterday, in a location where I didn’t see any last year, they were like buses – I saw four in total, including these two that floated in together.

Beautiful colour. I saw my first Holly Blue of the year on the day you posted this. It was in our back garden, which was an added bonus!
Butterflies in the garden are the best bonus! 🙂
How pretty!
