2019 was a remarkably good year for butterflies here in North Devon.

Most of the photos in this album were taken within a mile or so of our home, either up on the fields and hedgerows above Yelland, or down on the south side of the Taw estuary.

Othere were taken near Morwenstow, on the Devon Cornwall border, and at Rosemoor RHS garden at Great Torrington. The Holly Blue was from further afield, at Hidcote Manor Gardens in Gloucestershire.
