Thursday, August 18

Was just going out to visit our local organic farm shop, when I spotted a Brown Argus butterfly feeding on Hebe Josephine. I went back to get my camera and took these photographs of it resting on my hyssop bush.

The car park of the organic farm shop is bordered by a bed of nettles and Buddleia bushes currently in flower. There was a distinct lack of butterflies - only a Red Admiral and a white butterfly.

Liz has asked about Large Tortoiseshell. I have not given details on this site because, as Liz realised, it is supposedly extinct in this country. However, the odd one turns up and possibly Liz saw a migrant from Europe - one of the advantages of living in Kent.
