Dark Green Fritillary


Arriving back at Gatwick Airport after a week in Bulgaria, a beautiful, unspoilt country simply alive with Butterflies, I was depressed, but I suppose not that surprised, to find the weather at home as terrible as ever, with barely a Butterfly to be seen all week. Sunday turned out to be that rare thing this Summer, a sunny pleasant day, and I decided to head for the hills where I was immensely cheered to find good numbers of Dark Green Fritillaries, Meadow Browns and Marbled Whites racing around the breezy slopes of Ivinghoe Beacon enjoying the warm weather.
