From earlier in the summer. This butterfly was quite content to carry on feeding whilst I photographed it for almost half-an-hour. If anybody can identify the precise species, I'd be grateful - as always!

More Fungi at CB

These were abundant on an old tree stump.

Our thoughts were Sulphur Tuft. They looked like something out of a fairy tale.

These two were somewhat larger and nearby. No I.D. yet.
