| | | Butterflies at Kiveton Woodlands 6 August 2009
Hello
Took my 7 year old daughter for a walk on Kiveton Woodlands yesterday in the sunshine!
We encountered these butterflies
1 Peacock (poor photo couldn't get one with wings open) - saw 3 
2 Painted Lady - quite fresh saw several 
3 Mating Gatekeepers  
4 Common Blue ?female 
Could be wrong with the blue
Lots of whites around as well that Molly kept giving names to!
Thanks for looking

Your little girl must've had a lovely time. Kids love nature given such an opportunity as this.

They had been learning about butterflies at school and she got a book about butterflies as a leaving present from the infant school that is lovely.

That's a great experience for a child; sadly so few get this enrichening experience.
Your ID is correct for Common Blue.  |

Hi Riggy, lovely photos they`re great to see. Wonderful that your daughter is interested, my daughter is 14 & loves taking butterfly & insect photos Not so good at sorting them when we get home though

I help with the scouts and find they all love been in the outdoors the problem is normally getting adults to take them.
