Still lots flying in our local woodlands although most of the males have battled until their wings are now in tatters. They look beautiful drifting over the bramble and burdock bushes.

A few more Silver-washed Fritillary pics
One of our local woods has been fabulous this year for silver-washed fritillary. A couple of the rides that have burdock, brambles and a rogue buddleia have been a feeding haven for them. It's been brilliant !
Some staggering temperatures in the garden this year
44 degrees in the garden
51.3 in the greenhouse
49.7 in the greenhouse
and a chilly 40 in the garden. We have melted !

Silver-washed Fritillary
Absolutely stunning butterflies ! A couple of the rides in one of our local woodlands are alive with these beautiful butterflies this year. An hour there yesterday and we were blown away by them, never stopped coming past and now starting to do courtship displaying. A second visit is definitely on the cards, tomorrow, weather permitting !
