After a bit of decorating, I managed to get out and enjoy the little sunshine we had today. The butterflies are starting to look a little tatty now, this Gatekeeper has a chunk missing from its wing!
We have a huge buddleia bush, I've noticed there are no butterflies on it this year! Last year it was covered in Peacocks, Red Admirals etc., not this year - nothing!
I haven't replaced the background, the flower was in a small patch of sunshine with the dark wood behind.

A top quality close up Karen, the black background works so well, was that your camera bag?
I managed to get out and enjoy the good weather this morning, the chalkhill blues are about in good numbers at Crickley Hill which is a few miles from where I live, but I was most surprised to see the marbled whites still around in good numbers, albeit many looking very worn and tatty and a ringlet. No sign yet of the walls or the 2nd generation common blues
Thank you everyone for your c&c's. 
No Ed, the background is just deep shadow in amongst the trees.
Very disappointing butterfly numbers here, not very surprising considering all the rain we've had!
glad to make it 30... it must have been in the brambles.
