    This Speckled Wood butterfly came to join in with lunch yesterday but he, obviously, can't read and showed us the wrong page in the book. :hehe:

    It wasn't too bad because he was only one page out :gnthb:

    Well, he's just lovely Shiney even if his reading's not perfect.
    And great pic, thank you.
