Inspired by taking part in the butterfly count for Butterfly Conservation......unfortunately not all the species in the poem showed within the 15 minutes allowed! lol
ReplyDeleteIt has been good to see so many butterfly species this summer but apart from the Whites and Speckled Woods they have not been in great numbers, well not in my area.lol!
ReplyDeleteLove the poem Ruth. Nice one!
Thanks Pam,I've had some good species in the garden......all of the above.... but not one Painted Lady.....one of my faves too!
ReplyDeleteNot one Painted Lady for me either Ruth, in my garden or whilst on walks! I did see Small Copper and Speckled Wood out on a walk this morning....they were enjoying the welcome sunshine!
