In fact I am going to get another one to join the two I already have. Less than a dozen, so not many but the joy of butterflies and bees in a garden should never be under estimated, there was also a rather beautiful banded bee fly.

Butterfly's, are in my mind creatures that display such wonderful delicate beauty.
ReplyDeleteVery true Heron, they are only surpassed in elegance by damsel flies and dragon flies.
DeleteI read somewhere that Red Admirals have had a very good year, but it has been a poor one for Peacocks. So you are lucky to get one on your bush Thelma. I have seen a few red admirals on mine but little else.
ReplyDeleteThe weather is not as warm up here, perhaps that is the reason, though the wet winter could not have helped.
