Re: Meadow Brown
It's quite worn, but not enough to explain the very light colour so it appears to be a pale aberration, possibly ab. alba. Although they may well crop up quite regularly, they seldom get recorded because they are so difficult to photograph.
Here's one from a few years back together with another version (with twin eye-spots) which I saw today.
And a "normal" one for comparison.............
Conditions were prefect today for photographing Meadow Browns.
