REVISIT TO OAKLEY WOOD
I had an hour or so free after lunch today so drove over to Oakley Wood once again.Today it was unbroken sunshine which had encouraged more of Pearl Bordered Fritillaries to fly than on my previous visit. The most I saw at one time was five, although there were probably more. The warm weather meant the butterflies were continually on the wing and rarely settling. However on the couple of occasions when one did settle for a few seconds, it was with wings shut enabling me to see and photograph their beautiful pattern.
