Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary in Bristol
Posted: Tue May 22, 2007 6:32 pm
I photographed this Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary yesterday at Ashton Court meadow on the edge of Bristol. It hasn't been recorded here before - the nearest stronghold is Dolebury Warren, 12 miles away. So the question is, did it make the journey by itself or did it receive assistance? The damage on the forewings makes me suspicious...
