Bad morning for butterflies

I spent the weekend down in the New Forest, helping my daughter and her boyfriend with their garden. This morning it was raining hard, but as soon as it stopped we went for a good walk around Wilverley Enclosure. It was still dull and the vegetation was sodden so I was very surprised to see this glorious, fresh Dark Green Fritillary at the side of one of the rides. Had the sun come out I'm sure there would have been lots more to see.
