Small Pearl Bordered Fritillary on Southern Marsh Orchid |
I found this fine specimen of a Small Pearl Bordered Fritillary butterfly at the Cornwall Wildlife Trusts' reserve at Breney Common on Tuesday.
The weather was warm but breezy and dull and I only saw 3 fritillaries flying for the whole afternoon and not a single dragonfly on the wing!
However the conditions suited the photographer and the butterfly posed in several good positions out of the wind.
Here are a selection.....
