Nice one Hollins! Top photo is a small copper - haven't seen one yet this year.
Other two are small white and peacock.  Amazing how they love buddleia.

Thanks Jack. I was hoping someone would tell me what they were. I think it was you who educated me last time!

Saw one in Tiverton, Devon last year.

At 5' he's the smallest copper in the UK.

Two Dolphins spotted swimming in Conwy Harbour.

we were at west shore last tues and we were sure we spotted something breach beyond the sand banks. We have seen possible dolphin/porpoise off Old colwyn and Llanddulas my friend saw them the same day last year and again a week or two ago. Quite exciting and a privilige.

The Squirrels were raiding all my peanut feeders so I sent off for a Squirrel proof feeder and then this came.  It's not only Squirrel proof it seems to be small bird proof too so I've had to put the old feeder back so that the Woodpeckers and smaller birds can at least get some peanuts!

Nice photos Hollins! Yes small tortoiseshell, peacock, red admiral and the 4th is a comma.  Comma's have very ragged wing edges!
