Small Tortoiseshell

It was April 7th when I blipped 2015's first flutterbys in the IttH garden. So far this year I've seen a few float by, but today there were peacocks, orange tips (both blipped last year) and this obliging individual.
I had intended to blip the extras today, all photographed at Smardale Nature Reserve over the weekend, but felt the flutterby actually seen today was a better choice. We head to France later today (blipping from the airport) and hopefully we'll see some fantastic, exotic to us, alpine plants, but it's all too easy to forget or not notice the beauty we have in our own wild areas.
So a blip quiz...how many of the 12 in extras can you name? Answers will be added tomorrow.

extra 1 has; Bugle, Cuckoo flower, Lesser Celandine, Snakeshead Fritillary, Blue Bell & Anemone blanda

Well done to FWG & JJ
