Garden butterflys (is there a thread on this ??)

Just had this Painted Lady in the garden.
Apparently they migrate to the UK from North Africa or southern Europe.......a long way for tiny butterfly's.

I suspect it's been a very good year fir butterflys. A regular sighting in Notts as a kid, Painted Ladys seem a rarer sight nowadays, I saw one the other week and struggled to remember what it was at first.
Lots of butterflys around...
