Butterfly Visitor


We have seen several large butterflies flying through the trees but as we have few flowers in bloom they don't often stop by.


This morning we had a large visitor who was intent on collecting nectar from some scented white flowers (stocks?)  at the edge of the garden.


These photos, taken with my phone as it was the nearest thing to hand, are not very good as it was constantly moving.  It is an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail - quite large but unfortunately quite damaged at the base of one wing, it was still able to fly perfectly well.
