Comma Butterfly

A decided to spend half an hour in the garden today as we have a few insects and butterflies about. I was forced to shoot hand held because of the strong wind today nothing was staying very still for long. I spotted this Comma and we played a game of climb the pond fence; each time I climbed over the fence around my pond to get close to it, it would fly back over to the other side......





The Comma looks a bit like a fritillary but its 'ragged' wing margins and white comma on the underside easily identify it as a comma.
