The difference between education and experience?

Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't.

Our peacocks are back, a bit windy to catch a decent blip today but great to see dozens fluttering around

The Peacock's - Aglais io - spectacular pattern of eyespots, evolved to startle or confuse predators, make it one of the most easily recognized and best known species. It is from these wing markings that the butterfly gained its common name. Undersides of the wings are very dark and look like dead leaves. A fairly large butterfly and a strong flyer.

Although a familiar visitor to garden buddleias in late summer, the Peacock's strong flight and nomadic instincts lead it to range widely through the countryside, often finding its preferred habitats in the shelter of woodland clearings, rides, and edges.

Isn't it incredible to be still enjoying days of sunshine.
