Yesterday (for only the second time this year) I visited my local butterfly 'hotspot' with my camera but all I found, even though the fleabane is out once again, were a few 'little brown jobs':



Peacock, a very familiar butterfly found just about everywhere



Gatekeeper, common in hedgerows and country lanes



Meadow Brown, a common butterfly of open countryside

The weather was rather overcast... and brown butterflies, absorbing heat more quickly than others because of their dark colouring, are the ones most often encountered on dull days.
