Can't identify this one But there were meadow browns everywhere And tortoiseshells on the wall And on the nettles There were loads of them Cranesbills Lambs looking for shade And water Masses of butterflies on this clump This one stayed still long enough We had many goes at trying to photograph a marbled white And got a meadow brown on this scabious There was a field of poppies above us Really colourful Ros tried to capture it on her phone Watched by the sheep in the barn.
