A Meadow Brown was in the front garden this morning along with several Small Tortoiseshells.



Later I saw the first Gatekeeper of this season at the back and then a Ringlet at the front.



The Gatekeeper was around the Field Scabious with the Small Tortoiseshell butterflies. It visited this Nicotiana plant and I'm wondering whether it was feeding on it. The Ringlet was on Field Scabious at the front but flew off to rest on a Ceanothus when it saw the camera coming.
