African Ladies on Winter Hill

During last night's weekly outing we saw several rather faded and travel weary butterflies on Noon Hill and the Pike. This reminded me of an article that I had seen in my Daily Mail a couple of days ago:-

Although obviously not at their best, they appeared to be in better condition than was I, despite their journey from Africa. Keep your eyes open, it sounds like there's more to come!
