Brimstone Butterfly (PiP)

Brimstone Butterfly  (PiP)
Captured at Burrington Coombe where butterflies drifted lazily around in the sunshine. I believe this is a Brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni) ?

I have added 'Elusive Butterfly' sung here by Laurel Lea

A great capture of this lovely flutterby, Carol. I was going to say that the butterfly looks like a "Zitronenfalter" ;-) I checked and yep, that's Brimstone butterfly (in German a "Lemon Butterfly) :-)
6 months ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
Thank you very much Edna and for the confirmation that this is a Brimstone. A strange name - I think Lemon Butterfly is much nicer!! Brimstone makes me think of a hot and holy 'fire and brimstone' sermon by an overzealous preacher!!!

Hope you enjoyed your holiday
6 months ago.
Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Ecobird club
LOL, well, I didn't think of that, Carol, but you do have a point. And also the poor Brimstone butterfly wouldn't smell so nice, whereas in German it's lemon scented and refreshing ;-))

Yes, I did, and I'm thinking of it everyday because I want to prolong my holiday mood! :-)

Ecobird club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
Lemon scented summer dreams - how lovely;-))

I am pleased you had a good time. Holidays pass too quickly but you are left with memories and photos to remind you thankfully.

Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Ecobird club
Well, let's just hope that nobody would make lemonade of them... ;-))

You're so right about holidays, Carol!

Thank you very much for those lovely comments Fabio. I was really excited to get these shots as I do not normally have a lot of luck (or patience) when trying to capture butterflies or other insects.

Ecobird club has replied to Pam J club
Thank you very much Pam, and also for confirming the id of the butterfly. I was so excited to get some photos as I am not usually fast enough, or maybe I am too noisy!!!

I guess the name just comes from the colour but it could be prettier!!

Hope you are doing well. Hugsss!

A lovely detailed photo. Beautiful light and colours. A perfect musical match too. Not heard this version by Laurel Lea.....well, until now :-) Excellent cover version. The original by Bob Lind was one of my all-time faves and somewhere I have the original although I can't remember if it was on a 45, on an LP or on a cd. Would like to find it but that could be quite a time-consuming task :-)))
Have a good rest of the week, Carol..
6 months ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Roger Bennion club
Thank you very much Roger. I don't usually have a lot of luck capturing butterflies. They must have been slower that day or I must have been a bit quicker!!!

I am pleased you liked the link. To be fair I only found her version when I went looking for the song and I really liked it. Yes I remember the original - and also Val Doonican in his jumper singing this!!!!

Enjoy the rest of your week
