Jan went for a walk around Brampton Wood this morning in the hope to find some White Admiral Butterflies. There were a few around but not as many as other years and not settling.
Silver Washed Fritillary are normally Orange and brown/black but this is the more uncommon form. A small proportion of females have wings that are bronze-green, known as the form valezina. It was quite beautiful.
