Marbled White (Melanargia galathea)

I'd like to claim that I framed this for the pictorial effect, but I had to follow this butterfly around for about twenty minutes before it landed here very briefly! The main reason I wanted a shot was because it was the first one of these I've seen at this site which is in the parish where I was born and makes a good addition to my local butterfly 'list'
