Glanville Fritillary - 30th May

A short visit to the Isle of Wight to see familybut i had a little time for birding and entomology.  One of my main targets in the short amount of time I had was Glanville Fritillary; a species I have not seen for many years. I visited Compton Chine where, in very windy and rather cool conditions, I eventually found a couple of rather lethargic individuals and then at Brook Down a slightly more lively individual in more sheltered conditions.
