A Small Tortoiseshell was visiting the red Sweet Williams this morning. I found a Meadow Brown on my Hebe.



Then I saw a Small Tortoiseshell on Cotoneaster in the back garden.

In the front garden at lunchtime, there were at least 2 Small Tortoiseshells: one was on Verbena rigida; the other on Verbena bonariensis.

After lunch, there were a pair of Small Tortoiseshells with another one in the front garden. When I returned from town in the middle of the afternoon, the pair appeared to be resting on a stone in the back garden.

I saw a Small Tortoiseshell on a Hebe at 18.05
