Operation Monarch Rescue

 
 
 
 

Two days ago we spotted 15 monarch butterflies in the park on our morning walk. Yesterday there were still a number of butterflies flitting about in the park and one sad little fellow stuck in the water. Dominic rather enjoyed watching the attempt to remove the butterfly from the water and give it a fighting chance, and the mission was a success (in that the butterfly was removed from the water without me falling in).



Slightly bedragled but not drownded, the butterfly was carefully placed on the grass in the sunshine to dry out.
