Parhelion (sundog)
After seeing the astronomical phenomenon of a supermoon total lunar eclipse during the early hours of the day, this atmospheric optical phenomenon appeared just before sunset.
Sundogs appear level with the sun and, depending upon the cloud cover, one or two may be visible. The redish side of the sundog appears nearest to the sun, so in this picture the sun is off to the left.

Female Holly Blue butterfly
Resting on an ivy leaf.
The broad black margin to the fore-wings indicate that this is a female.
For a picture of a male see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/536358 .
The egg of this butterfly will have been laid on ivy around August with the pupa overwintering to produce this spring flying adult.
The eggs from this butterfly will be laid around May on holly, to produce the second generation summer flying adults.
