Holly Blue

Not much around today on the bird front, but on the last leg of the walk, a Holly Blue landed on the path in front of me and allowed me to get a couple of photos.  It wasn't the neatest of butterflies, but although I've seen a couple in the garden this year, this is the first that has landed and I've been able to approach.
