UK Butterflies

From June 2019, I decided to try record species of butterfly in the UK as I go around on my travels.

Photos displayed are only taken by myself. I'm always grateful of learning new things and would like to thank Dave Butterfly Williams, Lloyd Evans & Jon Bowley for their assistance.
