Wall Brown, North Yorkshire

I managed to find and photograph an inland Wall Brown butterfly (Lasiommata megera) in Yorkshire, which is an increasingly rare sight. This one perched briefly on an Ox-eye Daisy while I had my "bird lens" on. I took a single photograph at 300mm before it was gone, but I was pleasantly surprised with the result.
