That's a nice picture, Dave.  I think that it's one of the Great Orme specialities, the western silver studded blue (Plebeius argus ssp caernensis).  They tend to live in colonies and emerge around this time.  I couldn't find any mention of the subspecies on the Butterfly Conservation website but there are several pictures on a wildflower website.

We have a lot of regular visiting pigeons here (and some that need nursing back to health!)  but yesterday afternoon this black and white pigeon called in and he was incredibly tame  :)

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other, "Does this taste funny to you?"    ;D

If anyone spots any UFO's over Penrhyn Bay, don't be alarmed, it's only Merddyn and friends:

I was sitting on the bench by HSBC yesterday when a man wearing spectacles walked past. He was obviously enjoying the bap he was munching away on when  a Seagull suddenly attacked him knocking his glasses off and knocking the bap on to the ground.
He looked bewildered at first but he put his glasses back on and wiped the bap and carried on his way munching away at the bap.
I could see his watching out for other Seagulls though.

I was sitting with Mrs Fester outside FatCat tonight, and as the adjacent table was vacated, the seagulls descended en-masse.

One grabbed the only piece of pizza which had been left on the table, and the others fought him for it.

Cutlery and glasses were strewn everywhere... and loads of glasses were smashed.

The barmaid came out to tidy up, and she said that this was the fifth time today she was required to sweep up loads of broken glass due to the seagulls.

It is by no means a rare occurence, but it is pretty scary stuff when it happens...and its happening too often!
