Raptors and Butterflies

Peacock butterflies on the move
These specks were small tortoiseshells flying past
A touch of spring

A glorious spring like day with wall to wall sunshine and very little breeze.
Fifteen minutes at the top of the Dailies found first a Buzzard moving >N closely followed by a Sparrowhawk also >N both in moving mode out to the east above Clayton where the sky had a hazy cast. Luckily Id taken my faithful bins instead of the compacts otherwise they would otherwise have been missed.
A suprise to see butterflies moving >N with up to 30 small tortoiseshells going over, some at height and 9 Peacock butterflies also moving >N but much slower and low down often settling briefly before moving on again, hence the blurred photo, the beggers wouldnt keep still.
