Don't often get chance to get a decent photo of a Large White but this one did co-operate this afternoon on Verbena bonariensis.




Also at home 4 Red Admirals, 1 Peacock, 1 Small White and 2 Speckled Wood late morning.

Along the canal at Brearley this afternoon we found 6+ Small White. On a Buddleia by the bridge over the River Calder there were 4 Peacock, 2 Red Admiral and a Speckled Wood.
