I saw loads of butterflies in the sun

The Rowley Fields are mown and with the scent of fresh cut grass we can turn attention to the margins of the fields where the butterflies and bees are now concentrated. And so I did earlier this afternoon. What a treat. Marbled Whites, Small Skippers, Meadow Browns, Ringlets, a Small Tortoiseshell and my first Red Admiral of the year. All pictures below taken today. A heatwave is promised this week so expect there to be more butterflies about.
