Not what you expect to find on a Christmas eve walk! Painted lady , Vanessa cardui. It was sunny and warm and there were some blown over to the UK a few days before from the mainland, but wouldnt have expected it to be in such a good condition, looked like it had only just hatched.

This may well be the last White-letter Hairstreak I have seen at Upton Warren - 9 years ago. Have we had any sightings since?

Hard birding on Lewis at the moment, although good to see 4 Ruff and a Reeve on the Machair today. A bonus of two Painted Ladies and five Red Admirals in Port Nis yesterday. #BirdingScotland #IsleofLewis #ButterfliesUK

It's the week of the gatekeeper butterfly here - every ragwort and bramble patch I went past on a walk today looked like this. There must have been hundreds if not thousands across my whole walk! 😮😊 (Ringlets too on this one!)

Not a very good one but did capture the Holly Blue in the garden today.
It’s so elusive and ethereal looking. I just love it .

My personal favourite.
We do have a huge bank of holly behind us.
It’s landed on the French Lavender.

Saw my first Small Copper in the garden just now. It was on a buttercup and was hardly bigger than the flower cup.
