Flutterby

I saved this butterfly this morning!

I was casually laying by the pool when it landed by my hand then flew off and nose dived straight into the pool! I rushed up and rescued it from the water then spent a lot of time gently blowing on it (I'd like to think of this as gentle resuscitation) and holding it in the spectacularly warm sun.... 15 minutes later it's wings were flapping and off it went, it was a glorious sight to behold..... Until a bird swooped down 2 seconds later and took off with it in its beak....
