There have been butterflies coming and going all day today. This morning I spotted two Green-veined White butterflies in the front garden.

Just before 5 o'clock this afternoon, a Red Admiral butterfly came into the back garden to join a Gatekeeper, Large White and two Peacock butterflies. A few minutes later, I was lucky to get my first sighting of a Painted Lady butterfly but it wouldn't pose for a photograph.

I've also seen Small White, Small Tortoiseshell, Comma and what I'm fairly certain was a Common Blue butterfly in the garden today - a total of 10 species.
