Day 12 #30DaysWild - chasing butterflies

This morning Mr S and I went for a walk to look for fritillary butterflies, hoping to see both 'Small Pearl-bordered'  and 'Dark Green' .
We saw plenty of 'Small Pearl-bordered', but unfortunately no Dark Green -

We also saw a Small Heath and a Brown Argus butterfly

and hundreds of these Chimney Sweeper moths

... and occasionally the butterflies just had to share the same flowers with bees

and this photo sums up our morning filled with fritillaries and chimney sweeper moths
