Compton Tortoiseshell (Nymphalis vaualbum)

This afternoon I returned to the spot where I saw the Compton Tortoiseshells yesterday. I found a Compton Tortoiseshell right away in the same spot and this time I was able to get a couple of photos. I also saw a Mourning Cloak flying around my front yard and along the street as I was leaving for the woods.

Gorgeous shot of this beautiful butterfly. Last year this was the first one of the season I saw, but have not seen any so far (of course, the weather has been the pits!). Love how you've captured the rich colours on the wings.
