A quick upload before I join up with epzers' gary_d and AdeOsman in the Forest of Dean, it is clear blue skies and the weather is set fair so it should be a good day. This is a female dark green fritillary butterfly nectaring on some knapweed at Prestbury Hill nature reserve, taken early Saturday evening on the first proper day of summer.

Many thanks for all your comments and clicks folks, they are much appreciated. I had an enjoyable day in the Forest of Dean today and returned with a number of decent pictures some of which I'll upload in the coming days, Ed
That is so well captured, the DOF just where it should be. and the colours are gorgeous.
And I fritty green with jealousy, I haven't seen any of those this year. Just about every other fritillary but the green one
