Large Tortoiseshell - Favourite Photo of 2013

[MikeOxon]

This is a butterfly I have never seen in UK but, since there seem to be growing numbers of sightings from the Isle of Wight, in particular, it would be nice to see some UK photos collected together in this thread.

There have been a few taken on the Isle of Wight these past couple of years, Mike.

Personally, I'd be even more delighted with any early stage images of this species, since that would provide evidence of UK breeding.
