Jersey

A absolutely stunning selection of butterflies in Jersey Zoo. Some of the larger ones were the size of small hand! This one was missing part of its wing but that didn’t detract from how stunning they were.

A scarce moth found mostly in the south of the UK but populations are rising. I found this one on a pane of glass on an old farmhouse window. I gave it a gentle nudge to see if it would land on some of the fern next to the window but he flew off. Amazing deep red colour to the underside of the wings.

Jersey in the distance nearly 20 miles away with some amazing light rays breaking through the clouds.

An accidental find hidden deep a Buddleia bush, probably a Jersey Tiger Moth but there’s a fair few variations of this kind. I was following some butterflies round, and these bushes are heaving with them at the moment, until this caught my eye.
