Not Losing My Marbles

An unexpected bonus today. An hour to myself at Butterfly Conservation reserve at Lankham Bottom, Dorset. Found my first Marbled White butterfly. In fact there were many of them, mostly waving in a strong breeze as they clung to the tall grasses.

Also saw Chalkhill Blue (I think), Small Heath, Ringlet, Gatekeeper, Meadow Brown and Large Skipper. Great wildflowers too. Bliss.

More pics here. Thanks to angellightphoto.

Afternoon at Monkey World with Amy. If I was still trying to kid you that we were having an exotic holiday there were blip opportunities aplenty there :-)
