We’ve seen lots of butterflies in the garden recently and I just managed to get a photo of this beautiful Peacock Butterfly when it landed on the decking the other day. It’s quite a big butterfly, as butterflies go, and is easily recognised by the eye-spots on its wings. It flew away before I could creep around it to get a better shot, but you can still see the eye-spots.

Lovely, I’ve only seen a couple of peacocks this year, lots of cabbage whites though, unfortunately.

Looks like this was a week for butterfly shots – although one of mine was just a moth.
Yours is a great shot! How lucky to get this one before it flew away.
