The Specked Wood

A local walk gives me a rare glimpse of a static butterfly on this blackberry bush. It is a Specked Wood Butterfly (Pararge aegeria) and maybe the first time I have ever seen such a specimen. Normally they flutter away long before I can focus on them.

Enjoy full screen.

Just heard on the news this morning (Sept 18) that Butterflies are at a dangerous low number this year in Britain.
