Silver Washed Fritillary, Ken Hill Wood |
Managed to get ou of the house 'early' [8.30 am] this morning with the boys [age 1 and 4] for a walk around Ken Hill Woods. I'd half hoped we might bump into a Grass Snake or get some nice views of White Admirals. Whilst stopped by the edge of a ride some dog walkers asked what the Balck and White butterflies were, thats easy White Admirals. Then they asked about the 'Ginger' one and again I said thats easy it'll be a Comma. Then they left and then this thing beat its way down the ride and landed on a Bramble flower.
This is a UK tick for me of a species that seems to be spreading in Norfolk and a welcome addition to this morning butterfly list.
A few pics of some more expected species taken this morning added for interest.
