Buttie Pillar hunting

It was such a lovely sunny day I thought there might be a few early Buttie Pillars about
So........ I dragged the peeps out and off we went to see what we could find


Come on, keep up


A Brimstone


A very shy Peacock
(go on Mum, clamber in there you KNOW you WANT to!)


A Comma


And of course, the Tortoiseshell that visited my new plants.


We also saw an Orange Tip but Mum was too slow to photograph it!
 So that was 5 Buttie Pillars in ONE day!!!!
I finks its gonna be a VERY good year for Buttie Pillars
WooHoo

Loves and licky kisses

  8. No butterflies here yet. If there were, they'd get blown away by the high winds! At least it's getting a bit warmer.

  16. Wow! We're impressed you know their names. We don't get many Buttie Pillars around here, probably because we don't have flowers.

  28. Dear Princess Leah,

    Do you eat the Butty Pillers? I try, but I cannot seem to catch them, even though they do not seem very fast... Do you have any tips?

    Licks,
