The butterflies are late this year but now that they are here the buddleia outside the back door is alive with them. I saw a blue butterfly earlier, flying above the ivy that clambers through the tall hedging but it didn't settle and so I couldn't photograph and positively identify it, but it seems most likely that it was a 'common blue'. The Butterfly Conservation website tells us that: the brightly coloured males are conspicuous but females are more secretive. (ah yes!)
