The garden here at Ash Lock Cottage has been visited by a whole array of different butterflies over the past week or so (mid July). We’ve been out with the camera trying to get some decent pictures and the results, shown here are well worth the effort. The Six-spot Burnet, taken by Chris Bean at Lakeside Nature Reserve, is of course a day-flying moth.
In addition to the butterflies pictured we have also seen a Meadow Brown, Holly Blue and Small White but so far have been unable to photograph them.
