Hanging on........

After a truly horrible day I went back to Box Hill to calm my ruffled soul.
Luckily for me the bramble patch was once again full of butterflies including at least 6 Dark green fritillaries! 
This Marbled white Melanargia galathea was hanging on for dear life in the rather brisk wind! Although it isn't completely in focus, I thought the focus on the body was good and the angle quite' arty' what do you think?
UK Butterflies has this to say :-
Despite its name, the Marbled White is more closely related to the subfamily known as the "browns" that the "whites". This butterfly is unmistakable, its black and white markings distinguishing it from all other species found in the British Isles. This butterfly is found in distinct and often large colonies, south of a line between Glamorganshire in the west and North-east Yorkshire in the east, although it is not found in much of eastern England. It is absent from Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
On another note entirely we had 3 fox cubs in our garden this morning, it looks like they are the orphaned family of the vixen we found dead at the end of april.....they are all doing really well
