Gatekeeper Butterfly

Made a change from the White varieties that seem to be around more than any other Butterflies.

I actually saw a brown one today..probably a Red Admiral, but not sure as it fluttered too fast! Gatekeeepers are lovely!

Karen, in previous years when I have taken part in the Butterfly Count there has been such a variety of them. Almost all Whites this year with not many others :o(
