What a gorgeous butterfly. Great outing in the wild Joel, what a beautiful place, loved the old trees as well.

@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton 2 года назад

Hey :) Panama bound soon... and I can't WAIT! So many videos/tours to do... getting way too excited already! :) Have a look on the channel for Scotland and the Ancient Crab Apple, that was fun too - catch up soon, stay safe - Joel

@PicturesOfEngland 3 года назад

Great video. I love how you opened with a slow sweeping shot of the beautiful English scenery, and finished with a similar shot too, which completed a really enjoyable look at British nature, with those amazing trees and that perfect little butterfly. Thank you.

Hi there! Sorry for the delay, just trying to catch up with comments etc while I get a chance :) I really appreciate your positive comment and am so pleased you enjoyed the video - there are lots of others on the channel if you check the "videos" section - I am off to Scotland on Friday and hope to do some more filming of the beautiful natural areas there too - thanks so much for your support - best wishes, Joel

@453421abcdefg12345 3 года назад

A lovely species the Small Pearl Bordered Fritillary, it is hard to understand how they survive with their very lethargic habit, but it is nice to see them close up like this, the Beech tree is fantastic, that must have blown down over 70 years ago looking at the new growth, stay safe! Chris B.

@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton 3 года назад

Hi Chris :) I was thinking around closer to100 years growth - given the altitude - since it got blown over (this is from my days as a tree surgeon previously). I was so pleased to find the butterflies, it was a whistle-stop quite literally so wasn't too sure I'd be lucky enough, but they showed wonderfully - it's a fantastic place :) Best wishes - Joel

@markhunter2244 3 года назад

Excellent, very cool looking butterfly. Pity people more don’t spend a bit more time to look and see what’s around them.

@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton 3 года назад

Absolutely Mark - the trees would be hard to miss, but I guess you have to be of that mind-set and the butterflies... they were so rewarding to see and I was really grateful, particularly because I only had an hour or so there. Hope you're doing ok - best wishes, Joel

@Tofog22000 2 года назад

A real beauty, the color and pattern. Great slow-motion shots. Butterflies are so rewarding to observe. I added more host and native plants last year and got great results, summer can't get here soon enough to enjoy the show! Thanks for featuring these butterflies on you channel.

@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton 3 года назад

Hello :) They're certainly beautiful and those trees, forgive the pun, quite blew me away ;) How wonderful that they can keep on growing like this - they deserved a part in this film. Hope you're doing fine - best wishes, Joel

@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton 3 года назад

Hello over there! Sorry for the delay in acknowledging your comment, it's the busiest time of the year at the moment and I'm once again just trying to catch up with everyone :) Me too though, it's very fairytale there and I wish I could have stayed longer - back in Scotland on Friday so I hope to take some more video of the areas and it's beautiful flora and fauna. I hope you are doing well - best wishes, Joel

@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton 3 года назад

Hello! Yes, absolutely wonderful - as always I wish I could have spent more time there but it was a stop over to break up the 10.5 hour journey up to the clients in Scotland, very grateful to see the SPBFs though and those trees... they really were incredible close-up, what stamina to keep growing after being taken down by the winds. Hope you're doing ok - best wishes, Joel

Those trees are stunning - they could be a tourist attraction on their own! What a gorgeous butterfly too.

@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton 3 года назад

Hi Cookie - they certainly were wonderful to see :) I think you're right too, an amazing attraction and all free thanks to the National Trust. I was so pleased to see the butterflies even later in the evening - off to Scotland on Friday so will be ready to take some videos of the beautiful flora and fauna it has to offer :) Best wishes to you - Joel

@keithroberts42 3 года назад

Wow..just wow..beautiful countryside, amazing ancient trees and you achieved your quest. Jealous me..you bet. We're off to Nottingham for a few days next week so hoping to experience some wildlife there.

@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton 3 года назад

Good morning! :) It was wonderful to see them and those trees were more than a bonus, wish I'd got there slightly earlier but still rewarding. Nottingham... if you're close enough, then do check out Ashtons (!) Meadow, it's a site of special scientific interest - postcode DN22 0BP - a beautiful site that has been meadow area for many many years with no use of pesticides etc so pretty natural and caretaken by the Wildlife Trusts :) Let me know how you get on - best wishes, Joel

@keithroberts42 3 года назад

@@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton thanks for the tip Joel, weather permitting will try to get there. I'm really pleased with that Scabiosa plant, since putting it in the back garden its had several Small Whites and a Gate Keeper visit already, I'm going to buy some more i think.

Hi Joel. Cumbria must be a beautiful part of England and all of nature is just so exquisite :)

@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton 3 года назад

Hello there! Certainly is, I wish I could have spent more than an hour there but this was on the way to Scotland and it was a 10.5 hour journey so I had to stop over, just managed to get a hotel nearby, everything getting booked up so quickly here due to pandemic restrictions easing etc. I hope you are doing ok too - best wishes, Joel

@markosullivan6444 3 года назад

Really enjoyed this; one of my favourite places and a gorgeous little butterfly. As you may know Arnside Knott is home to other even rarer butterflies: the high brown fritillary and the pearl-bordered fritillary. Amazing place.

@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton 3 года назад

Hi Mark - I'm really glad, I do appreciate your support :) Yes, the High Brown's are known on this site but only one or two had been sighted before I went and I may have been a little too late and of course the PBF was a little before I managed to get there. I'm very grateful to have seen the SPBFs and of course those fantastic trees. Not sure if you live nearby but if I find myself in the area again I'll give you a shout :) Best wishes, and thanks again - Joel

What beautiful countryside... I love the fallen over trees! Such a pretty little thing-definitely worth the effort to find it. My Father taught me to walk slowly, quietly and look around you... amazing what you will see if you take the time to observe.....

@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton 3 года назад

Absolutely :) This was a short whistle-stop when on the way up to Scotland, wish I could have stayed longer but I am really grateful for what I saw there, it's managed by the National Trust here and is open to all, for free :) What a wise Father... - best wishes, Joel

@WildYourGardenWithJoelAshton 3 года назад

Hi Marion :) It certainly is beautiful. I wish it had been a holiday but it was a stop-over when going to the clients up in Scotland, broke up the 10.5 hour journey, but I was only there for the night. I have some wonderful footage of Scotland that I'll try to upload as a short video too, absolutely breathtaking. So many videos to upload now but I'm getting there :) Thanks for all your support, it's appreciated. Best wishes - Joel

IT'S AUGUST 11TH 2024, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED, IN THESE WORRYING TIMES. i;VE ALWAYS LOVED BUTTERLIES AND \MOTHS. COLLECTED THEM S A BOY, IN THE LATE 1940'S TO MID 50'S, WHEN THEY WERE FAR MORE PLENTYFUL. I ALWAYS FOUND THE FRITILERIES HARD TO RECOGNISE, ONE SPECHY ? FROM ANOTHER, ESPECIALLY TOPSIDE UP.
