Between fen and mountains

An orange admiral

I walked to the churchyard hoping to find some butterflies only to find that the wildflower area has mostly been hacked back.  This may be part of routine annual maintenance.  I hope this is the case and that the neat and tidy brigade has not taken over the churchyard upkeep.  I did find an area of nettles which I could not penetrate to get close enough to what I believe was a comma.  I did manage to get closer to this one whose markings are those of a red admiral but the bands on the wings are more orange than red.
