And back to Bentley Wood this morning...it didn't look promising with a massive downpour and then thick cloud, but as the sun came out so the butterflies started to move, one of which was (get in!) a Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary. It was super fresh too, so I presume it emerged pretty recently. On the upperside, note the chevrons are connected and that they meet the outer edge; the spots are also closer to the outer edge; on the underside the colour mosaic can be seen although I couldn't get a great photo of these.
