The following photos of Butterflies were all taken in the same area between late July and mid August this year. The habitat approximately 5 acres, contains a freshwater river along a natural meadow boarded by a mature deciduous woodland in Co Wexford.
By studying the distribution of Butterflies it can lead us to better understand the effects of climate change. As the planet heats up, Butterflies have moved northward in search of cooler habitats. Recent discovery's of species like the Essex Skipper and the Comma Butterflies from England and Europe support this theory.The little Egret is also a good example for this, as many breeding pairs are found throughout Ireland today.
