Peacock

I suppose subconsciously we've been looking for signs of spring for a number of weeks but now the daffodils are flowering, blossom is forming on the trees and the sight of a peacock butterfly basking in the warm sunshine today is proof positive of the season.


The name for this species of butterfly, owes its origin to bird of the same name and is because of the similarity between the eye patterns on the wings and those on the tail feathers of the bird.
