Oooh #wildflowers!

#GrowWilder must look that up.

"Very resilient." I'll say! And "versatile"
"Nettles" Yay!

In the Isle of Wight at the moment, 20+ sightings of Clouded Yellows today. Any sightings in Norfolk in the last few days? #savebutterflies

Dozens of Small Whites, a couple of Small Coppers, a handful of Clouded Yellows, several Red Admirals, a Painted Lady and a Comma enjoying the sunshine at the end of the Lizard in Cornwall today. #savebutterflies

Ringstead Downs judging by social media posts seems to have been a butterfly hotspot this year. It was fairly quiet yesterday but I did manage to see both Small Copper & Small Heath. A Clouded Yellow seen by other walkers eluded me. #savebutterflies

Scotch Argus (Erebia aethiops) - Cairngorms, Scotland - September 2026. A new butterfly species for me, though they were a little past their best. #butterfly #butterflies #gcampbellphoto #savebutterflies @savebutterflies.bsky.social @ukbutterflies.bsky.social @europebutterfly.bsky.social

Great to see a couple of female and 3 male Wall Lasiommata megera along the cliffs. Females all to the west of Waybourne beach and males along cliff to the east.

Wall seen on the coast path between Wells & Stiffkey yesterday. This will be a 2nd or maybe 3rd brood. After years of decline our records indicate (although hugely variable year on year) numbers in the county are showing an upward trend. #savebutterflies

Despite cloudy skies and a blustery wind Comma, Red Admiral & Speckled Wood were on the wing in Mossymere Wood yesterday. #savebutterflies
