Discover some of the butterflies of the UK in this short documentary style video. Join me as I take a walk around Norfolk's largest ancient woodland, foxley wood, and find species such as the silver washed fritillary and white admiral butterfly. I also find common species of butterfly including comma butterfly, red admiral, gatekeeper, speckled wood and meadow brown.

Comma, my favourite butterfly! Although I love moths too, possibly more than butterflies. Beautiful photography mate!

Stunning footage. I've an amature photographer and I do enjoy snapping away on wildlife. Butterflies don't taste their foods by their tongue they taste by their feet.

Fantastic video, thank you. There's an area on Mousehold, called Hairsteak hollow, named after the butterflies, which apparently can be seen there.

When you go to Foxley the first turn from the car park is a left and it threw me, because I was concentrating on the environment and not my spatial awareness. The natural route is to turn clockwise from then on and the natural instinct is to try to get back to the car park using that rotational direction. I got lost too. My best memory of my last visit was when I went off piste accidently and had to push my way through bracken and other vegetation. The butterflies murmurated into the air like a Hollywood fantasy, making me stop from time to time. Foxley wood must be one of the best butterfly sites in the UK.

I have tons of buddlia that grows in my garden so it attracts tons of butterflies. Normally I see red admirals or peacock butterflies

That was a lovely selection of butterflies! I've yet to see a fritillary of any variety and I've not seen a White Admiral since that one we saw last year at Hickling.

Beautiful butterflies and great film Liam! Although hard to film I think you have managed very well. Thanks for sharing. I'm now trying to make something out of footage I managed to capture with the iPhone the other day of some Banded demoiselles flying around down by the river. Have a great weekend! // Bertil.

@@AShotOfWildlife mostly for the butterflies Liam although I have photographed Garden warblers, Roe Deer, Greater Spotted Woodpecker and you do get a good range of passerines through the year.
