It&#39;s relatively quiet at this time of year, but there were several common darters darting around and one of the less common but extremely pretty butterflies, the Clouded Yellow. This is the more common variety (there&#39;s a Pale Clouded Yellow which is a rather more scarce visitor to these shores), and it was unusually bold. Hence I was able to get some good close-ups with the macro lens.
