Red Admiral

Along with all the bees which have been visiting my globular buddleia bush there has been the occasional Red Admiral butterfly. This one was very reluctant to open its wings to show off its colours:

I didn't blame it. 'Twas a little on the warm side at 26C and I could feel the back of my legs burning after a quarter of an hour trying to get some decent shots.

  1. Good to see a butterfly. The occasional orange tip is all I see.
