Large butterflies

Look out for the larger butterflies during the sunshine this week. There are Peacock butterflies and maybe Painted Lady butterflies. Here's a Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) seen on the high bank of the canal last week. Most of these Red Admirals are summer migrants.


If you happen to have Buddleia in your garden, it's a particular favourite of the Red Admiral.
