New Species - Holly Blue


Yet another species added to the butterfly list in what is becoming another good butterfly year. I saw a couple of Holly Blues although I do not have a plausible picture to show as I couldn't get close enough and ID was done through binoculars. There were also more Small Coppers about as there have been over the last week. Previous to that I had only seen them once in prior years.

By way of compensation for the lack of a butterfly photo I show a picture of a female Common Darter dragonfly that happened by while I was attemting to photograph the butterfly.
