Home Patch (14): Butterflies

Red Admiral, seen 24 May 2012

Male Orange Tip on a Pansy, seen 26 May 2012

I had already seen a male Orange Tip in the garden, but this was my first Red Admiral. I expect there will be plenty more when the Buddleia comes into flower! I also caught a glimpse of a small blue butterfly, probably a Holly Blue, but it didn't hang about.
