Nature in Anglesey

Nature on the Island of Anglesey – Ynys Mon

A beautifully coloured Peacock Butterfly

I do not profess to be an expert in the wonders of nature, nor do I claim to know more than most folk about the creatures and plants we share this world with that are constantly around us. Nature is the domain of someone far greater than anyone of us, and I just appreciate the wonder of life.

I love Anglesey, and I thoroughly enjoy photography. These pages are a result of those two things coming together. Whether the animals, insects and plants that I photograph are wild or not, on foot (or on a thousand feet) on wing, or on stem, I would just like to share with you some of the photographs that I have taken on my travels around Anglesey. Many of you might not be so fortunate as to live in the country, and others may just like to see colourful images of nature; whichever category you fit into you are most welcome.

The Comma Butterfly

The Comma butterfly is so-called because of the shape of its wings. Beautifully strong colours make the Comma a beautiful butterfly. I hope you enjoy the photographs below. Click on them to see a high-resolution image.
