As lovely as they are, White Letter Butterflies don’t do much, except bask on leaves and fight! Here are some shots that I took of them last June, arguing over an ash twig. @savebutterflies @BCDevon @DevonWildlife

My favourite animal, the Brown Hare. A rarity here in Cornwall, but we saw several up in Norfolk. What a beauty ❀️. @NorfolkWT #hares #animals #wildlife

Up at sunrise, & our patience was rewarded with amazing views of the Black-winged Kite hunting over the meadow at Hempstead Marshes, Norfolk. What a beautiful bird! @RareBirdAlertUK @NorfolkWT @_BTO @Natures_Voice

Anyone know what these are please? Google is saying Peacock butterfly caterpillars, but they’re not spikey enough? Intrigued! Cornwall today. @Cornwall_BC @savebutterflies

Thank you David. Such a rubbish name for it though, I think. Mottled Skipper, or Chocolate skipper would be much nicer πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Whilst photographing this Common Blue today, a Grizzled Skipper photobombed the shot! How lucky was that! @Cornwall_BC @savebutterflies #WildCornwall #butterflies #insects @maxshearwater
