What a great year this has been for butterflies. Today was warm and sunny and the bramble bushes along the garden fence were alive with butterflies - dozens of them, mostly Gatekeepers (sometimes called Hedge Brown) and Ringlets.
This is the first time I have seen Ringlets in the garden, but I find them very difficult to identify without getting a photo. That is difficult in itself because they don't keep still for long.
There are so many noteworthy events and sightings during the year in my garden, that I decided to record them with photos whenever possible. Click on the photos to see a larger version. Enjoy!
