Butterflies on buddleia

To begin with, a pair of butterflies. These were on a buddleia bush: the air was full of the scent of honey, as you would expect from a buddleia in full sun, and the air was full of butterfiles: peacock's red admiral, and the occasional comma and small tortoiseshell.

It was quite difficult to pick out a shot of the butterflies: it was a little windy, and the bees and hoverflies which were also feeding on the nectar kept disturbing them.  Eventually these two settled on the same spray of flowers for just long enough fo me to press the shutter button.
