I took a walk up the hill behind the house, then through the wood and down to the beach – one of my favourite places. (in the other direction from this picture) On the way I came across about 5 peacock butterflies fluttering around a clump of nettles, but they were full of the joys of spring and even though I stood still for ages, I didn’t get a single picture in focus. They’re just too quick! I’ve also never heard butterflies flapping that loudly – it was almost like birds passing by!
