large swathes of England have been pummelled by torrential rain today, so as something of an antidote here are a few pictures taken yesterday in the sunshine.

Two red admirals and a white butterfly

Lots of red admirals there, and while the butterfly season seems unusually late, the reds are certainly making the most of it.
Last note for this evening. The Stop the Badger Cull petition is currently standing at 95,000 signatures. Please sign it and make this badger very happy!
Camera note: first three shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM; fourth shot taken with the EF 100mm f/2.8L macro IS USM; and the badger with the EF 24-105 F4L IS USM lens.[/I

24 Sep 2012I've been surprised to see a few butterflies out and about here (before the rain, of course).

25 Sep 2012Unusual wings on that first butterfly. Do you know the name of the specie?
