Speak soon.

Some detail and colours in this one and it's great to take advantage of this influx in numbers..

Nice one.

That will tempt me down to Mere Sands over the coming days.

Hi Phil,

This is very nice indeed.

Walking along the coast path the other day, I was astounded at the sheer number of these feeding.

Good shot. We have a lot of them over here this year. Last weekend we had a butterfly counting over here and this one was seen a lot so I think I would get the "first place".
