Moorland butterflies in Cornwall May / June 2022.

Marsh Fritillary

The weather has been kind recently and I've managed to get out to 2 different sites on Bodmin Moor to photograph both Marsh and Small pearl-bordered Fritillaries.

It was great to find them on some classic wetland plants, especially on Bog-bean in full flower.

The Small pearl-bordered was on bluebells on a drier section of the moor.

Here are a selection of images from  my camera....
