Wedge Wood Butterflies

With the sun shining onto the woodland ride, the blossoming briar patch was a great attraction for butterflies. Numerous Gatekeepers flew around the place but then I spotted a couple of  Commas and then there suddenly appeared first one, then two White Admirals.
The Gatekeepers proved to be very territorial, chasing away the other two species. I wished I had with me a film camera to record at slow speed, the incredible aerobatics of these winged insects.
