Have you ever counted the number of butterflies in your area? You might be surprised how many different species there are. Down in the woodland there are lakes which mean there is often an even greater variety of butterflies.
This collection is largely provided and in memory of Vanda Garnier who was always enthusiastic about adding to her wildflower & butterfly collection. Here are just some of the butterflies that she photographed. We can’t promise you’ll find all of these in the woodland where your bird house might be found – however, a great deal are. See how many you can find?
Mouse-over to see butterfly names and maybe the common and scientific name! A caption is also seen together with an enlarged view when clicking on individual images which will take you to the ‘slide-viewer’. Once in this mode – try using the forward and back arrows on your keyboard to browse each image. Also have a look at the About Birds, Wild Flowers and Wildlife pages.
For wonderful places to visit such as Scotney Castle, Sissinghurst, Lamberhurst, Lewes and Tunbridge Wells itself – visit the Location pages. Brighton and London are musts to travel to and London is just 45 mins by train. By car – Brighton is about 1 hour away.
The current butterflies displayed in this gallery are mostly all copyright of Vanda Garnier.
