There have not been a lot of butterflies around the places I walk most days, even though I check the best locations I've found over the years, they have been mostly barren over the last few weeks. Spring started off so well for butterflies but numbers have dropped off badly since then.
Until today!
This afternoon's visit to my favoured butterfly spot was great: with
Brimstone, two
Large Skipper, three
Large White and an un-id smaller white, two
Meadow Brown, a
Peacock and best of all - a
Common Blue. The Brimstone flew through without dwelling at all so no photos of that one.

I saw a dragonfly checking out our new pond this afternoon, but it was so unimpressed that it left after a second or two, leaving me with little idea what it was. Either Four-spotted Chaser or Broad Bodied Chaser are my best guesses.
