Wood White
A nationally rare wood white butterfly seen yesterday morning in the Forest of Dean. This individual was one of four of this scarce species that I saw and settled long enough for me to get a number of photographs. Up until yesterday this had been my bogey butterfly, i'd spent numerous hours over the last few years looking for them. and when i have finally found one or two they've proved impossible to photograph. Despite their rather weak and fluttery flight they are quite a restless species that can fly for a long time without stopping!
