Red Admiral. Photo: Brian Arnold

Brian sent in this quite seasonal photo telling us:

Today, 26/11/2024 there have been 3 Red Admirals settling and nectaring on the Colletia Hystrix in our Harman’s Cross garden. One of them flew across to some adjacent holly and landed by some red berries.  I have long hoped to get a photo of a Red Admiral on holly with berries but of course it is not a plant for them to nectar on.  Some snow in the picture would make it perfect, but I think that is somewhat unlikely!!
