[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is one of the most widespread species found almost everywhere. It is relatively scarce in northern Scotland but has been seen as far north as the Orkneys and Shetlands. This species is also known to migrate to the British Isles from the continent, sometimes flying in great swarms, augmenting the resident population in the process.

It is believed that this butterfly can fly up to 100 miles in its lifetime although, undoubtedly, individual butterflies may only travel a mile or two. Evidence of the mobility of this species comes from a misguided introduction in Melbourne in 1939. 3 years after its introduction, the species had reached the west coast of Australia some 1,850 miles away, having survived through no more than 25 generations. This species has been a pest in the continent ever since.

Neata buna Mariana,
incepi weekend-ul cu o noua compozitie de exceptie. Foarte frumoase culori.
Un weekend placut,

Buen encuadre y pose del ave aunque quizás haya excesiva saturación de los colores en algunos puntos.
Un abrazo y buen fin de semana: J. Ignasi.

Dear Mariana!

Although this species is widespread, it's always a pleasure to look at it. Especially when it is presented in such a beautiful manner like you did. The picture is well composed, simple and pleasant. Maybe it's - at least on my screen - a little bit dark.

Kind regards

Markus

Thanks for your kind words on my recent picture, Mariana.
This is a well composed shot of a butterfly from the whites
family perched on those lovely, bluish flowers.
Excellent details, colours and composition.
I notice that your images are, by and large, quite rich in colours.
Thanks and regards.
