Last week I saw my first Silver-washed Fritillary for this year, somewhat earlier than expected, flitting through a woodland glade but it was a male White Admiral (Limenitis camilla) that also made my day as it perched on a fern during a short sunny interlude.
N.B. This is a scheduled post but I will respond to any comments when we return from Cumbria. FAB.
Very pretty images. Have a good trip.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen it but is looks like a beautiful butterfly... How do the inside of the wings look like?

ReplyDeleteExcellent captures Frank. The last one is superb.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Frank! A lovely butterfly which I have only ever seen once (not this year) and only very briefly.
ReplyDeleteI loved the delightful juvenile gull photos on the previous post. I thought in the one captioned 'Up and away at last' that it had a look of incredulity/fear in its eye as if it couldn't quite believe it was actually doing it :)
Have a safe and happy trip.
Thats a real beauty Frank and can say I have never seen one , so slightly "GREEN". Enjoy your trip.

ReplyDeleteI have yet to see one of those beauties Frank. In fact there is a real lack of flutters hereabouts at the moment.
