These are some butterflies I saw when I went to the
area around the WOW RSPB Centre in Belfast last week. I am not sure but I think the first one is a Common Blue, Small White, Speckled Wood, Painted Lady and Red Admiral.
Perhpas someone could tell me if this is a Common Blue please?
Many thanks for visiting and also to all who leave comments.
Gorgeous captures.. I don't think I've ever seen a blue butterfly.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post!
I do love butterflies. Ephemeral magic. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLovely set of Flutters Margaret. Yes I think its a Common Blue.
ReplyDeleteThe third row black dots running along under the outer wing edge shows that its a Common as opposed to an Adonis that has less and not such a straight line.
Beautiful captures of a lovely variety of butterflies! If that is a common blue, you were very lucky as I just read at the weekend that they have been successfully reintroduce in the British
ReplyDeleteIsles.
Oh wow, Margaret! These are perfectly captured pictures of all the butterflies. Ours here in SA never sit still for long enough. Thanks for sharing. Blessings Jo
ReplyDeleteYou've highlighted an important aspect of RSPB reserves Margaret. The reserves serve a secondary purpose in increasing insect populations. Lovely photos. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful butterfly photos Margaret and it looks like a Common Blue to me.
ReplyDeletehave always loved the blues and browns you get there.
