7 starlings perched at various heights on green branches in a tree. A mix of adults and juveniles. Dark/brown bodies with light speckles.

A holly blue butterfly perched on a small pink thistle. The butterfly has faint white wings with small black spots and blue edge tinges.

A peacock butterfly sunning itself on a path, with its bright red decorated wings (with "eyes" at edge) wide. Has extremely furry red body.

A stock dove facing away and to the left on a branch against a white sky. It is preening, with its furry butt almost looking like a grey rose flower.

Holly Blue Butterfly!

My good deed for the day - I rescued this beautiful little Holly Blue from a watery end this evening.
Think it’s a female but hard to tell with wet wings.
Found her upside down in a puddle on the Comber Road surrounded by cherry blossom (like a scene from “Melancholia”).
Picked her up and carried her to the nearest bush that was still in sunlight. It was hawthorn but there was ivy higher up.
Hope she survives the night 🤞🏻🦋
