Hi all,
The Small Tortoiseshell has thankfully done just a little bit better in West Sussex this year. Despite several trips out specifically to get a shot of a nice fresh one, I wasn't having much luck. But while I was 'thrown out' of my own house, as an Estate Agent conducted a viewing, this beauty came and sat on the fencing in the driveway.

Cloudy with showers today, but the last two days have been glorious here in west London.
