Friends of mine who look at birds told me about this reserve and that it might have some interesting butterflies, so in the hot sunny weather yesterday I decided to give it a look.

I suspect it will only have common, widespread species from what I saw, though apparently purple hairstreaks are seen there. On my visit there were a few common species around.

These were the most common species seen but it is the first time this year I have photographed them with wings closed showing the beautiful pattern.

This is the first female I have seen this year. It was actually quite windy and not easy to get a clear look at this individual.

Lady Charlotte's biography, from The Carolina Raptor Center's website: "Lady Charlotte was nine years old upon arrival at Carolina Raptor Center in June 1995 from the Virginia Tech. School of Forestry & Wildlife Resources. The tip of Lady Charlotte's right wing had to be amputated after a collision with a power line. Power line collisions and electrocutions are common causes of injury among bald and golden eagles due to the large wingspans of these birds and the short amount of space between power lines. As a result of the injury, Lady Charlotte cannot fly well enough to hunt and survive in the wild. For this reason Lady Charlotte has been trained as an eagle ambassador for his species and travels to education programs and exhibits as part of our education team."

Orange Tip - Garden, Hullbridge, Essex. This one or others visited the garden all afternoon. Great to see with the whites as well.

Back Garden - "sods law" - all the days I've spent over the last couple of weeks sitting ready with the camera, only to see these guys fly through without stopping, today I was actually doing something, (I was dismantling an old garden bench for renovation) my hands were covered in WD-40 and rust, when my wife told me an Orange-tip had just landed - a quick dash indoors to wash my hands, and luckily he was still on the dandelion seed head, I managed a couple of shots but as I was moving to a better position he left. Hopefully there will be more chances.

After getting a tip that GU-1 would be taking a big train out of North Grafton, I managed to catch up with them at West Upton yard. After dropping 6 tanks, they continued on to Hopedale with 11 cars. The train is running along Freedom St and will be in the yard soon. The train consisted of 1 covered hopper and 10 spines with containers.

Summers are round the corner. As responsible pet owners, we must anticipate and meet their up-coming needs.
