There were tons of tiger swallowtails out today:
And so I was tempted to catch one. I did, but I let it go:

Mama loves butterflies! Wooooowooooo, Ku
You are lucky to have those guys, swallowtales are confined to our eastern wetlands. However right this moment there are clouds of peacock butterflies on our buddleia bushes, plus large whites, commas, brimstones and some others. Small tortoishells have not reappeared yet, but this is the best butterfly year in England for many years. These islands are at the northern extreme of european butterfly habitat, so we get anxious about the after effects of bad winters, but 2013 is a marvellous butterfly summer.
Absolutely gorgeous butterfly shots. What camera are you using?
Canon PowerShot SX160 IS
