Red admiral

First one I've seen this year, feeding on jacobs ladder in my garden and looking very healthy. It would be the offspring of ones that overwintered here as the new wave of arrivals from the continent haven't arrived yet - and I like to think it came from my nettle patch.

A very welcome garden visitor, They always remind me of childhood days in my grandads garden watching them flitter around his veg patch.
