Small tortoiseshell butterfly on Red Valerian
I spotted this Small Tortoiseshell butterfly enjoying the flowers of the Red Valerian which springs up all over my garden. I pull it up when it gets in the way but it is a good nectar source, and there was also a Hummingbird Hawkmoth feeding on the flowers (too fast to photograph!). The family tortoise also likes eating the foliage so I find it is a useful weed.
Busy again today preparing for our Devon holiday and also trying to finish a photobook for my Mother's imminent 91st birthday. It commemorates her 2021 when she was 90. I had all the photos ready in three folders on the computer but the slow bit is arranging and titling them on the on- screen templates. I'm using CEWE whose designs are very attractive, but there is a bewildering choices of layouts, typefaces, finishes, colours, etc from which to choose.
