Generally two of the cubs have been showing up early evening, and occasionally a third one. No fighting and not too much playing either. The warm weather has provided plenty of bugs for them to eat, and they spend a good part of the time scratching at the grass looking for grubs.<\/p>\n<p> As well as the cubs, there have been numerous butterflies, though oddly I can&#39;t recall seeing any of the normally ubiquitous cabbage whites. The first one isn&#39;t at all familiar to me, but was hovering close to the ground at the weekend.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/butterfly080706018sm.jpg\" alt=\"butterfly080706018sm\" width=\"379\" height=\"323\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/butterfly080706018sm.jpg 379w, https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/butterfly080706018sm-300x255.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This next one (a Red Admiral) arrives with a companion, and is fluttering around most evenings. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/butterfly120706004sm.jpg\" alt=\"butterfly120706004sm\" width=\"527\" height=\"392\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/butterfly120706004sm.jpg 527w, https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/butterfly120706004sm-300x223.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As well as these flighty visitors, the flowers are blooming.
