A good start to this year's Butterfly Conservation count, with ten species spotted in my local urban patch, including Common Blue, Small Copper, Brown Argus, Comma, Small Skipper, and Meadow Brown.
A common blue (Polyommatus icarus) butterfly in profile perched on a grass with the underwing showing.A Brown Argus (Aricia agestis) butterfly perched on a seed head, with the upperwings showing. The wings are a variety of brown tones, with orange spots on the forewing.A Small Skipper (Thymelicus sylvestris) butterfly perched on a seed head, with the upperwings showing. The wings are a variety of orange and brown tones.Two Meadow Brown (Maniola jurtina) butterflies in profile. The butterflies are facing in opposite directions with their wings interlocked, as they copulate. The underwings are a variety of orange and brown tones, with a prominent white spot at the top.
