Skipper Butterflies, so far...

I love Skippers, they have fascinated me ever since I spotted my first one back in 2010.

Since then, I've photographed them every year. Here's a small post dedicated to them!

Hartshead Pike 2/2/2014

Today we wandered up to Hartshead Pike

. I took a few shots but mainly with my phone.

My best shots this year!

Anglesey Butterflies/Moths

It was my first time holidaying in Anglesey & the spot we stayed in was beautiful. We stayed in a little village called Llangaffo in some pretty lodges with an absolutely stunning view. The owner of the lodges owns the land surrounding the lodges so we had an opportunity to walk along incredibly beautiful farmland. I was surprised at the amount of butterflies around & spent the holiday searching for different types, many I'd never seen before.

So here's a small list of the butterflies that we saw over the week.
