Butterflies
My butterfly page has now been refreshed. I have now seen 63 species of butterfly in the UK after finally seeing Mountain Ringlet. A long-overdue tick due to the restrictions of the pandemic! Now I shall be reliant on vagrants to add to my list, like the Camberwell Beauty that I saw at Burnham Overy Dunes on 8th Sept 2021 and Queen of Spain Fitillary that I saw in Walmer Kent on 21st Sept 2022
