Re: 2021 - Large Tortoiseshell
3 seen at Church Ope Cove , isle of Portland. Whilst chasing one up and down the beach with the camera my wife was casually taking mobile phone snaps like this. Photo is 22nd March 2021 at 13.46.
Escapee
Spotted at perimeter of Regents Park Zoo on Buddleia. Looks like this ragged specimen got fed up with confinement and made a bid for freedom. Any Ideas?
