Butterflies, flowers and little owl

After the morning of 25 April 2018 around Lienden in the Netherlands, the afternoon in the same area.

An orange-tip butterfly. A speckled wood butterfly.

There were flowers, like cow parsley …

… and buttercups and grass …

and faded dandelions. And horsetails (a plant group, older than the dinosaurs and still alive).

The little owl was still present at the polled willow.

Finally, this green-veined white butterfly.
