Marbled White (Melanargia galathea).
Male.
Unfortunately I missed my early morning fix this year for the Marbled White, mainly due to too many breezy mornings in the first week of their flight season.
This is one of my favourite species to photograph so I have strolled back through time to find an image I haven't posted before, a male on grass on my local patch just one mile from home.
The dew can be seen on the wings.
