The Comma butterfly, or Nymphalidae, resting on a nettle in the nature reserve today. Used to be a rare species but is now much more common thanks to the wild flowers and nettles. instagram.com/p/CuIfvOPIddI/…

Huge thanks to Jon, our ranger, for his hard work in the orchard, clearing around the trees to give them the best chance, keeping the meadow full of wild flowers. He taught us lots about pruning stone fruit trees too. Old logs ready to be made into bug hotels #henllyslnr #orchard
