Wednesday, July 14

The day started gloomy but by the end of the afternoon, the sun was shining. 4-5 Small Tortoiseshell butterflies were around the Buddleia davidii 'Nanho Blue' at the front.
I saw one Small Tortoiseshell on Lantana camara.

There must have been a similar number of Small Tortoiseshell butterflies in the back garden on the Buddleias, Field Scabious and a cultivated, larger form of Scabious. There were also 2 Gatekeepers visiting a Hebe, Verbena bonariensis and Field Scabious.

So sorry Lynda about your illness. My husband's cousin is currently in hospital with the same problem. I have not visited your website before but I have been trying to identify a butterfly seen in our garden in Sussex. It has black wings with a white curving stripe going across from side to side. I know you can't reply at present. Although you can't receive messages right now, hopefully you will in the not too far distant future. I wish you well and will pray for your recovery.
Kind regaards
StellaB
