That was very good item on the butterfly but also on the squirrels stealing the bird food , I found some suet blocks with chilli in it very good too . Had a little wren on my balcony ye sterday . Not seen one for ages an d there he was just a few feet away.

What a fabulous shot I’ve been buzzed around by huge bees in the garden and we keep finding ladybirds in the house Our 4 year old grandson was astonished when it flew outside as he’d never seen one fly before. X

[Blackbird9 in reply to watergazer]

Loads of buzzy bees around here ...Awww a child's face at a new experience is just magical 💙

[Caspiana]

Oh wow. 💕 How fortuitous to catch such a beautiful shot 📷 BB. That made me smile. Thank you. Love to you and Stan. xx 🙋🐕

[Blackbird9 in reply to Caspiana]

Thankyou Cas love back to you and Chom .. 💜🤎

[Izb1]

Thats an amazing shot BB and a beautiful butterfly. I can see a face in this, the body is its nose and the bottom spots its eyes, sad aren't I ha! X

[Blackbird9 in reply to Izb1]

Thankyou .. no your not sad at all ..it was a chance I couldn't miss grabbed my phone and clicked...It's a very vibrant shade and was just sunning itself 💙

Stunning.

[Blackbird9 in reply to winabago]

Thankyou ❤️

[dunnellon]

Beautiful colors and you captured such detail! I've never seen a peacock butterfly before. We have a peacock bird living in the neighborhood for over 10 years now and he's a colorful guy, too, but much noisier than a butterfly!😃

[Blackbird9 in reply to dunnellon]

Thankyou Dunnellon Yes peacocks are very beautiful but the noise sometimes...!!!

It was pure chance that he landed so close 💜

[Alberta56]

Isn't he, or she, gorgeous. xxx

[Blackbird9 in reply to Alberta56]

Certainly is 💜

[Nicholatracy]
