Green-veined White butterflies mating
There’s a head at either end!
The following day, Mike went back there for his constitutional and on some thistles coming through the fence round the marshland he saw a Peacock butterfly. We’re not sure if they’re actually rare in Orkney, but we’ve never seen one in nearly 19 years here. It was the high-light of his walk!
That bit of marshy wild-land is a boon for wild-life!
