Saw a couple of Meadow Brown butterflies chasing one another from an upstairs window; went outside to get a photo and took one of a Small White butterfly as well.

I use the Small White butterfly for size comparison - see my list of British Butterflies in size sequence. What's so exciting about a photo of a common white butterfly? Just go and watch one for a few minutes and you'll realise that they can be quite challenging to photograph.

A few minutes later I noticed 3 male Small White butterflies fighting over a female. Here she is with the winner!

They are nicely camolflaged on the Dogwood bush.
