Red Admiral - Vanessa atalanta

I thought I'd join the club :) This chappy kept circling around an open spot in 'the glade' on a rather dry bit of grass. Every now and then 2 or 3 of them wold have a bit of a barny in the air then one would settle on the ground within a square metre. It was like a roundabout :)

I've included 2 full-on shots as the first one really allows you to see the marking on the body, whilst the second has the wings in focus.

Three nice shots there Louise, really show the markings well.:)

Excellent louise. Well done :) :thumbsup:

They actually fight for sun spots. The get there energy from the sun

Lovely shots Louise
