had a trip yesterday to Cotley Hill SSSI in Wiltshire. My first trip there and the first time I saw Marsh Fritillaries and Adonis Blues - both are magnificent. Weather was not as nice as forecast - very overcast all day ... but still enjoyed the day.

Recently I made a black avi, because I wanted to try something else. I dont' think he looks that bad.

For only the second time in my life I visited this reserve as it was a beautiful sunny day and I have seen so few butterflies this month.
Though not the main target, there were 3 species of blue plus brown argus. I am not certain however that all my IDs are correct, so confirmation or correction would be welcome.
This is one I am not at all certain about the ID. I love the setting and photo.

Die Frühe Adonislibelle oder auch Frühe Adonisjungfer (Pyrrhosoma nymphula) ist eine Kleinlibellenart, deren deutscher Name auf ihr zeitiges Erscheinen sowie ihre rot-schwarze Färbung zurückgeht, die der von rotblühenden Adonisröschen ähnelt. Neben der Scharlachlibelle (Ceriagrion tenellum) ist die Frühe Adonislibelle die einzige rotgefärbte Kleinlibellenart in Mitteleuropa.

With time to admire the Adonis seedlings' slow growth, we can think of the festival of Adonis.
From Wikipedia: "One day, Adonis was gored by a wild boar during a hunting trip and died in Aphrodite's arms as she wept. His blood mingled with her tears and became the anemone flower. Aphrodite declared the Adonia festival commemorating his tragic death, which was celebrated by women every year in midsummer. During this festival, Greek women would plant "gardens of Adonis", small pots containing fast-growing plants, which they would set on top of their houses in the hot sun. The plants would sprout, but soon wither and die. Then the women would mourn the death of Adonis, tearing their clothes and beating their breasts in a public display of grief."
The plant is named for its blood-red anemone-like flowers, a little time away yet...
For a change of pace @ Swank, I decided to get this fabulously sexy overcoat called Charli by Blackstone. It has a deep V neckline and is embellished with a belt with a big gold buckle. There are also several great gold buttons that bring this look together.
Just back from a quick 2 night visit to see family on holiday in Dorset. Spent a fair bit of time on Ballard Down and was really impressed by the butterflies seen - never seen so many Common Blues or Gatekeepers. Also seen - Adonis Blue (male and female), Holly Blue, Brown Argus, Red Admiral, Clouded Yellow (in great condition), Dark Green Fritillary (in not so great condition), Comma, Brimstone, Lulworth Skipper (my first), Small Copper, Green-veined White, Large White, Small Tortoiseshell and more Wall Browns than I've ever seen before (some in fine condition).
Great to see some Adonis Blue again - they were a bit more challenging than the butterflies on my local patch as the grass was quite long and dense so backgrounds became far trickier. If I hadn't had to come back for teaching I'd have been there again at some point today - it really was abundant. Some fabulous birds too - Peregrine, Sparrowhawk, a number of Kestrel and a Cuckoo.
Press L or even zoom as this one is quite tidy.
