July 30th:

Best day of year! Spotted a Red Admiral on the light blue buddleai so took record shot from inside kitchen in case it flew off as is usual. Went outside and managed to take 59 pics and four videos of which they are stunning though I say it myself :shock:

hope to put some online when I get round to it, especially my Facebook page.
In total had two Red Admiral at same time but the other was on the dark blue buddleai, also one Small T/Shell, two Small White and two Large White.

Well happy!

John

PS: well done Freddy on your collection!
