Gatekeeper

At last, a colourful butterfly in my own garden!  This gatekeeper has discovered our oregano plant which we have left to flower.

Edit:  I was just sitting at my computer mulling over the fact that I had not yet seen a peacock butterfly this year when, to my astonishment, one flew in through the open patio doors and fluttered around me.  It was a beautiful fresh specimen and it calmly sat on my hand so that I could put it outside.
