Favonius quercus quercus

It's been a while since @unsociable-lapwing.bsky.social and I have targeted butterflies.

On Saturday we got Sarah's lifer Purple Hairstreaks at Roundhay Park in Leeds.

Plenty of butterflies setting up territory at YWT Staveley.

This Peacock looks in great condition!

Brimstones, Commas and more Peacocks also seen.

I have just watched a Brimstone butterfly fly through our Baildon garden. There's no mistaking it, it came quite close. #butterfly #yorkshirebutterflies
