White Admiral

The sun-lit track was alive with butterflies including many gatekeepers and holly blues as well as smaller numbers of speckled wood, painted lady, red admiral, meadow brown, small skipper, large white, green-veined white, common blue, comma, and another country park rarity - a silver-washed fritillary.
