Buddleia Critters!


From Saturday July 25th. Washed out again at the basin after a bit of garden safari looking for interesting and colourful butterflies and insects.


Common Sandpiper in the shadows at the Old Harbour at Montrose Basin. A Little Egret was also there with a Greenshank and 3 more sandpipers. Minutes after this the heavens opened and I had to abandon yet again at the basin, the third downpour in three visits



Now that my Buddleia is flowering I'm looking forward to some butterflies and other insects, if the wind would just stop. Marmalade Hoverfly, common in my garden and elsewhere

Same butterfly, underwing



Small White Butterfly, and with a fair bit of wear and tear
