    :) It has been a gorgeous sunny day here,and there have been more butterflies in my garden today than at anytime all year.
    Here are a couple .The Cabbage White and a rather anemic Tortoiseshell,I think some of his colour has been washed away in the rain lol.

    I think its been a bad year for them, the last two bad summers must have done much more damage than any pestacides.
    I think we need a few good ones now in order to catch up.:)
