Aglais io
It has been very hard to identify this. It is very close so if anyone can suggest a better fit, I'd be interested to hear it
Wetlands, crossing the path
Thaank-you bayucca for once again identifying this more accurately.
Thank-you bayucca, as soon as I looked at the reference site, it was clear you were correct.
Despite the bluish spots, I think it is Aglais io. Mourning Cloak should have some reddish patches.
