Yesterday I noticed a fritillary in the garden among all the painted ladies, and kept an eye out for it today. There was no sign of it in the front garden, so I went round the back to bask in the sun - and suddenly it was there in front of me in the huge buddleia over the wall, a couple of yards from where I was sitting, a dark green fritillary.
Once again the painted ladies (of which I counted 40) took exception to its presence and chased it away. Also in the buddleia: one large white, one red admiral, and at least two small tortoiseshells.
