I specifically went to see the fresh Pearl Bordered Fritillary. With the warm weather they were bound to be on the wing. I wasn't disappointed with the numbers but, none would sit still long enough for a decent "display shot" they were constantly flitting about and dropping to the Bugle flower to feed on.
