Marsh Fritillaries Mating

A pair of marsh fritillaries mating in the Bill Smyllie field at Prestbury Hill nature reserve near Cheltenham. Around 15 of these rare beauties were seen on a visit on Saturday afternoon. This is a new colony and the first time this species has been seen in the North Cotswolds.
