Found one in the garden to-day nestling amongst the flowers. Shirley

They like somewhere warm to bask, perhaps if you have a couple of tins trays and place them round the garden. Shirley

It was one of the most sunny days we've had in North Wales for a long time, but unfortunatly there were very little sign of butterflies, three Small Tortoiseshell's basking on a corrugated roof- my potting shed. This Small Copper was here and gone in a few seconds.

Fantastic butterflies, lovely photo's. Well done.

Great photos of the Comma, I don't care for those of spiders and close up of the darter. Give me a really nice photo of a butterfly any time. Also Jack explaining why the white butterfly appeared too white is always a problem now I know what I should do, maybe difficult to do with a compact camera. ...

What a lovely photo, I could see three Painted Ladies, was the photo taken recently, nice garden you have there. Shirley

Don't tell me the larvae is the baby caterpillar?

I don't mind collecting larvae for someone else but I don't like touching catapillars and if they got out of their box or nest and start crawling round the house ugh. Has any one got a photo of larvae and I'll have a look, surely in 8 acres I can find something. Small Tortoiseshell's are in short su...

I'm not laughing, poor little orse . I was too busy taking photos. Tomorrow when I playing golf, just before I hit the ball I'll think of you Jack and that ball will go miles or perhaps I'll think of Mr. Jones. I A ' moth.

What was the question again? I've promise someone higher not to mention the 'R' word again Where can I buy a yellow Buddlia. Oh! BTW does anyone what to buy 32 big bale of hay good for horses, no 'R' in it, collect only. Thank you.

That's what happens when you eat the 'R' word have you noticed you've only taken the photo of half a butt'fly, have you gone cross-eyed.

What happened to the rest of this but'fly!

I'm glad your seeing some butterflies at last Dave, may be in Northern Ireland and North Wales we'll have an Indian Summer, we certainly deserve one, look forward to seeing your photos.

Lets go back to Buddleia its far nicer, I agree. Lets finish with the ragwort, all agree?

Kill ragwort weed to save animals From Simon Hart chief executive Countryside Alliance The Countryside Alliance will be writing to all local authorities and other bodies in the coming weeks to remind them that they have a duty to control ragwort on their land and must be vigilant, especially where t...

So, we're back on the Ragwort, tomorrow I'll call in the local vets and asked them how dangerous ragwort is to animals. Why when I sell my big bale hay to famers, do they ask 'is there any ragwort in this hay'? Its deadly to horses and cattle fresh or dried, its not meant to be a joke, its not somet...

I can, but maybe the people who have voted for themselves cannot read and if it turns out they can, maybe they would stand down for the next monthly competition. Just a thought.

It was a nice sunny day in North Wales to-day and I managed to see one or two butterflies. Thought you might like to see them.

Congratulations and enjoy your new role Gary. Regards Shirley
