I say 'At last' in the heading as this is the first good opportunity I have had this year to photograph the Peacock Butterfly. In fact this is only the third one I have seen all season.
This one I photographed is a Male and a Summer brood specimen that will continue feeding throughout the rest of the year. It will then hibernate for the Winter, emerging again in Spring. Hopefully the breed will do better next year.
It is certainly one of our most colourful Resident species and it would be a tragedy if it were to phase out.
