Now here's a puzzle! a very small blue butterfly flitting about this afternoon.... and there are 3/4 different kinds. Was it this? yes it was! Because the underside is very plain and a sort of white colour, so when he settled for a while, I spotted it!
It was only this morning I was walking past the Holly tree and spotted the flowers.... I have never seen holly flowers in my life (seen plenty of berries of course!) but during lock down life has a slower, nicer, quieter pace in the garden and somehow, there is more time to inspect the borders!
That's the third "first time spot" for me this year, and I saw an orange tip again this same afternoon.
Hello Mars Mac, I must admit, I'm struggling to think what holly flowers might be like (I keep thinking of Bay flowers). The blue butterfly is very pretty, I've never successfully taken a picture of a butterfly as they never seem to sit still long enough and always flutter away when I'm not even close.
ReplyDeleteSunil - I don't take the butterfly pics - every one of these are from the British Butterflies site, which I use for identification (but don't tell anyone else)!! Holly flowers are very similar to Bay, being white and tiny. Google?
