Tiger Blues and Common Crows on Curlew Island

Hundreds of butterflies, mostly Tiger Blues and Common Crows, are flying around the bay each day, and as sunset came, being the only boat in the bay they seemed to be attracted to our anchor lights. 

At first they only hung around the cockpit, but glow from our screens in the lounge brought some inside.  We rounded most up and sent them back outside by closing the doors and hatches.

By morning light the cockpit was twitching with butterflies awakening to set off again and they all flew away to the island.
