Comma butterfly (Polygonia c-album) amongst the brambles with
half-closed wings
It was cloudy and cooler on the morning of our meet on Sunday 25th June 2017 but became warm and sunny later, another fine day for butterflies. Despite dry weather the riverside vegetation was still green and formed a perfect place for Comma butterflies and Banded Demoiselle damselflies to warm up
as soon as the day brightened. Later in the year Commas will feed on over-ripe blackberries before finding a place to hibernate on a sheltered branch or tree trunk in a wooded area.
See Hills Farm Wildlife Conservation for more butterflies and other wildlife along the river.
