I couldn't believe my eyes when it fluttered by. I ran indoors for the camera then spent the next 30 minutes on a freezing cold step waiting for it to reappear. Worth the freezing cold bum :)

The yellow butterfly was probably a Brimstone and the brown one with spots might be a meadow brown or a painted lady but a lot of butterflies have spots.
