A Red Admiral butterfly was on one of the Hebe plants in the front garden this morning.
I was busy tidying the back garden this afternoon, in the company of a Comma butterfly and a Small White butterfly.
Here both butterflies are resting a few feet from one another on the Eleagnus. Large Shrubs are useful as perches for the butterflies. The Comma butterfly had been feeding on Sedum spectabile and Hemp agrimony.

Thanks for your updates. Here in my corner of Dublin, the butterfly scene seems to have gone quiet - Peacocks, Small Tortiseshells and Red Admirals have all been absent since last month. Numbers were low anyway - perhaps they were affected by the drought. Plenty of wasps!
