They've got tiny wrists, the dials must be absolutely miniscule.

I had a tricky time this morning trying to photograph Duke of Burgundy butterflies. The grass was wafting about in the breeze a bit which didn't help and they had a tendency to half close their wings when the sun was fully out. There was a good number of them about though - I saw at least a dozen ( and judging by what a couple of them were up to, I reckon one of them might have been a Duchess ). Also one, possibly two Grizzled Skippers.

I was about to add I saw a small blue butterfly yesterday in my little garden but on upon looking them up noticed there's a number of small blue butterflies with different names so I'm not sure which this is.

Then I was about to say although it's very pretty and I am always pleased to see one they don't seem to be over rare.

It has now occurred to me that the word for not rare is 'common'. So I'm going with that.
