Comma butterfly on hogweed
Comma butterfly, wings closed on hogweed

Saw this lovely comma today, according to butterfly conservation the unusual wing shape allows them to hibernate among dead leaves.

It looked like it was going to rain this afternoon, so we had a quick walk up to Jaw Reservoir. Plenty of small heath butterflies about. Lots of foxgloves and plenty of bird song. A whinchat in a dead larch near the water.

Walked up to Greenside reservoir this afternoon. Still bright, but light grey coverage and a bit of a cool breeze, felt like rain on its way. First fritillary I’ve photographed this year. there were a few feeding on Fox & Cubs, colour match meant I nearly missed them.
