A cold morning today with 13 degrees, but a very good sunshine helped the buddies to come out for basking from 8 am onwards,
Overall a good day today to start with
Photo of the Day goes to the bold and beautiful Silverstreak blue butterfly basking early morning and displaying it's dark blue colours was a treat to our eyes
And
Best sighting of the day goes to
