Comma Butterfly

Just one of the many different species of Butterflies to be found at Ferrymoor Flash. This particular one is becoming more widespread possibly due to global warming. The caterpillars can often be found on stinging nettles and are a great food for birds. This picture was captured on the blackberry bushes that are now offering an abundance of fruits.
