    Default Last of the Summer Butterflies ( Holybrook River)

    A few looking battered and bruised.. but then it's a hard old life being a butterfly with all those hungry birds about. Speckle Wood, Small White, batter Comma (scale-loss showing the shiny wing), a couple of Commas feeding from Ivy on a fallen tree where 4 or so were flying about.

    Well done, you saw a lot more than me, although have not seen too many Commas at Hosehill, even during the main season.

    It always amazes me how battered they can get yet still carry on.
