    Default Today's Buddleia visitors

    Been keeping an eye on who's visiting, spotted these three today, along with the ubiquitous Painted Lady and Large White.

    Small Tortoiseshell, Peacock and Brimstone. I hadn't realised how hairy the small Tortoiseshell is, made it difficult to focus.

    Nice shots there, Rolf - no breeze like I had yesterday, then? Which lens were you using?

    Cool. I like the brimstone. It doesn't have the pattern, but the colour is lovely and unusual.. and it has 'pointy bits'

    LOL, yes, I like the Brimstone too, can't easily get an open wing shot though.

    The look almost edible like a cabbage leaf
    I captured a Brimstone two days ago but the sun was so bright it blew.
