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.
@cogdog Thanks, I think this is a small pearl bordered fritillary. Quite a delightful name. Not sure because I could not see undersides of wings.
@toddconaway Wow, what an encounter! Hopefully for the crow enough cookies to go round.
@johnjohnston Lovely shots.
@johnjohnston Beautiful distelfink! I only ever see the Americanisch ones here, and I don’t even know what you call the European kind in English. Goldfinch? Thistlefinch?
@Miraz thanks
@dwalbert goldfinches here. Though I like Thistlefinch! They love thistle seeds.
@johnjohnston Great shots!
@cliff538 thanks. Was our last bright day for a while after several sunny dry weeks.
