This morning I cycled out to the Wash marshes as I wanted to photograph the Small Heath butterfly, which can usually be found on the hot south side of the sea bank here
This very small butterfly rarely shows its beautiful yellow-khaki wing tops because it (like many others of this family) it closes them up on landing, then turns to face the sun so that it casts barely any shadow. It's camouflage then completes the job of making it almost impossible to spot
