Painted Ladies

Ah there had to be another reason for living here!, having spent the afternoon cleaning our caravan down at Furnace Farm where we had quite a lot flying past but were too busy to count we have returned home to a garden metaphorically buzzing with Painted Ladies there are eight superb specimen on one bush. I can't remember where but at one location reported on Birdguides there were 100 flying past in 8.5 minutes. Lets hope they all breed as butterfly numbers are so low.
