Meadow Brown (Maniola-jurtina)

.... and a Lifer for me.

Found him in my brother's garden sipping on the buddleia.

As I didn't get a view of his upper wing, I did check with the Butterfly forum, and they confirmed it for me.

Congrats on your lifer Delia! The butterfly itself is nice and sharp, focusing spot on. The buddleia (a plant which seems particularly attractive to butterflies) makes a beautifully colourful setting.

PS in reply to your question, no particular place for my next expedition in mind yet, but anywhere away from home would make a change!
