Working from home today and just having my elevenses. A cup of Punjana and a blueberry muffin. The sun is shining and looking out of my South facing window a bunch of (not sure what the collective noun is for Butterflies?) large Tortoiseshells are mugging my Buddleiah. Just nipped out to snap them in the act and here are a couple of the ugly brutes indulging in a feeding frenzy.
Lovely shot, Alf. I think these are small tortoiseshells, as they have the white dot on the forewing.

Sorry to be pedantic. But I was wondering if I'd been seeing large ones too.

Yes I think you are right Noel. That Buddleiah flower is about 5 cms across (so the picture is roughly actual size) which makes them about 45 mm, so small and probably male? Not pedantic just scientific
I normally see different sized Tortoiseshells and always assumed they were large and small but now I think they were just male (small) and female (large) so I just learned something
I think I have a Painted Lady there as well ?
Nice. Apparently these migrate. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8068050.stm
It's funny to think of a butterfly flying to the UK from Africa.
And last but not least and I really should get on with some work now
