Winged beauties
Tuesday, July 23, 2019Above a comma. These are helpfully easy to name as their wings are a distinctive shape.
Above, a small skipper.
Below, a small tortoiseshell.
The next three are all small whites I think.
Gatekeeper, the first I have seen this year.
And a rather special moment for this pair which C pointed out to me. I didn't expect them to take flight during their mating yet the one the right way up flew them both upwards. I posed the question did that fancy refreshments in the form of nectar? Who knows.
Take care,
Sophie
