Its a Gatekeeper Don, and a nice capture too, good detail in the eye.

Heres one with its wings open;

You can usually pick up a Collins Butterfly book for about £2.99 at discount book shops Don, (Works, Booksale, spring to mind) if your over here for a bit more of our summer it may be worth the investment, and the red admiral is predominantly black with red and white markings on the wings.

Nice one Don. I know The Peacock at Oxhill.. very good for a meal, the beer I'm not so sure.

You're not the baker who made my fantastic Cream Tea whilst I was driving through the Atherton Tablelands are you Don What a fantastic place - and I bet you get some great butterflies there.

Thats interesting, I sold my bakery 6 years ago in Malanda , where did you get the cream tea.Oh yes we do get some good butterflys but they dont stay still long enough

Oddly enough I was down at Fairburn today, two young girls spotted a Gatekeeper and one asked "whats that Grandad"

Grandad replied "Oh I dont know, it'll be a Red Admiral or something"
