Must be a bit sad to see your old ship go to the breakers.

I'm hoping she becomes part of the wall.

Talking of spots...
A peep into a corner of my butterfly collection: top left are 2 Wall Browns, below them are 2 Small Heaths, below these are 4 Marbled Whites (caught on my honeymoon), then 2 Dark Green Fritillaries at top right, beneath which is a Silver-Washed Fritillary (caught in the ancient St Leonards Forest)

Soon will come these Springtime butterflies:
Brimstone Green-Veined White above and Orange-Tip below; the female does not have the orange colour

These framed displays are usually very beautiful, as this one is, and pretend to be a little bit academic, but a true entomological collection will have each specimen labelled to show the scientific name as well as the exact time & place of capture... this is what makes them of value in studies of climate and habitat

Red Admiral butterfly
The very wet weather we've had at the start of the season will probably decimate many butterfly populations. A common insect in all localities in high Summer, today I photographed this Red Admiral basking in the late afternoon sun
