Phew 😅 Just got my 'butterfly on a bluebell' shot in before the bluebells go over 💜🦋 Taken at NT Dunham Massey this morning #teambutterfly @nationaltrust.org.uk @savebutterflies.bsky.social #orangetip #bluebells

First butterfly of the year for me, a Small Tortoiseshell! Hopefully not the last of its kind I see this year.
