| This is the Sutton Hoo site, looking down towards Woodbridge ... |
 |
| I think this is a Meadow Brown ... |
 |
| I thought this was a Small Heath, with circle round 'eye' mark ... but I'm not sure the lower wing patterns match up. |
 |
| A Meadow Brown among the Harebells |
 |
| I think this is a Gatekeeper, with the two 'spots' in the eye-like wing marking |
 |
| ... and here with its wings closed. |
 |
| This is the beautiful Small Copper ... |
 |
| ... and this is what it looks like when its wings are closed. See lower image here. |
 |
| Here's another ... |
 |
| ... and another! |
 |
| I saw a single Painted Lady. |
 |
| A red-spotted caterpillar ... as yet unidentified! |
 |
| You never quite know who you will meet around the corner at Sutton Hoo! |
Oh, and I also some Skylarks and other creatures ...
 |
| Skylark hovering ... |
 |
| ... and one taking off. |
 |
| There were one or two Damselflies ... |
 |
| ... and other insects, like this Sulphur Beetle |
 |
| ... and I mustn't forget the Grey Squirrel. |

Wonderful! I love that first shot with its colorful flowers. Beautiful butterflies. It has been so boring here....and everything so dead. I feel like I have seen very little this summer. You do see some strange sights (or should I say knights?)
lovely selection of butterflies and other creatures! Small coppers are one of my favourites, such lovely little things!
I think that's more butterflies than I've seen all summer, Caroline. Great selection of images, and I do like 'The Lark Ascending' shots. Think I did a project on Sutton Hoo at school, but it's that long ago I can barely remember!
A great collection of sightings Caroline, Ive never managed to get a pic of a Skylark, well done, Linda
