Barley and Butterflies

Images taken on my recent walk.

The Barley Harvest is well under way.

I think this below is the first Peacock butterfly I have seen this year. Quite amazing when to think this is a resident of UK. I do hope they recover numbers next year as this is probably our most colourful species.

The second images I have taken this year of the Golden-ringed Dragonfly.

Greater Knapweed.

  1. I had a Peacock butterfly in my back yard yesterday and was trying to remember if I'd seen any this year - certainly not as many as usual. Haven't seen a combine out yet either, but it won't be long.

    1. Thanks Mandy. I know the feeling. I just don't understand why as yet. Hopefully there was enough to provide for better next year.
