    Early morning heath fritillary

    Recently photographed a butterfly I hadn't seen before and was told by a friend on facebook that it was a heath fritillary. Later I met up with him and photographed them early morning, still with dew/rain on them.

    Great shot John, not a common butterfly and one that is under threat.

        That’s a great image John that shows the subject off against the background, with the dew on the butterfly adding to the overall image, well done

              I only saw my first ones a couple of weeks ago and from what I’ve read, they were almost extinct in Kent but after some changes in forestry management, they have rapidly increased but are still very local, based around the Canterbury area.
