The Common Cabbage White Butterfly.

It won't be long before the butterflies disappear with Autumn coming closer. I've already noticed that there are less around or they are resting on the top of the bushes where I can't reach them.

So here is UK's most common butterfly The Cabbage White, although in this case it looks a bit dirty with the bright colours of the flowers.

I really recommend you view this with the magnify button above the pic.

Makes for a very pretty shot, we get a lot of cabbage whites in our garden and the kitten is honing her catching skills on them! God help the birds next year! :0(

@claireuk Thanks Claire, it's funny how kittens do that with butterflies. I was the same as a child with a net.

Lovely shot, Heather. Like the focus on the butterfly and the flowers. The textures and details showing in the butterfly wings is outstanding!

@connie865 Thanks Connie, I wasn't sure with the butterfly looking so grubby, it's meant to be white.
