The only butterfly I have got close to this year!

I've seen so few this summer (and so few insects etc tbh this year) so rushed to grab this - but it left the garden twice before I got anywhere near it. When I was able to do so, it was a couple of feet into the flower bed which meant leaning across a few flowers to get this near...

A large white, I'm led to believe.

Very impressive close ups! I'm a fellow Prestonian and I've seen quite a few this year (albeit perhaps not as many as in previous years), mostly at Brockholes and other local nature reserves. There seem to be a lot of Red Admirals about just at the moment...

I spent a fair bit of time at Brockholes doing birds as well as bugs and fungi last year.

Nice work Paul.
They have been rare sightings for me this year.
