I thought you might be interested in some facts for a change! I saw this butterfly when I went for a walk around the village this morning taking my little camera with a nifty fifty attached. I haven't used the lens for so long that I though I would give it a spin. I didn't really intend to walk so far but I thought I would walk round the square that forms the village loop but then decided to head for the church and cycle track. It was while I was walking down the cycle track that I saw this comma. It had been drinking the juice of blackberries and I got some shots of that but then he flew off on the leaves and landed like this.
Thanks for getting all my images on PP yesterday and for all your kind comments and Favs - it is always much appreciated.
