Butterfly on the Butterfly Bush

Lucky shot of a Peacock Butterfly as I happened to be standing next to the bush as it landed. It did open its wings once before it flew off but I was a little to slow with the camera.

Still waiting for butterflies to appear here :( seen a couple but that's all. They better come quick, as the buddleia are well past their best.
