Default Thanks

Enjoyed the photo, nice to hear about butterflies, thanks. 'British Butterflies' by George Hyde says Comma's were mainly found in Gloucestershire & Herefordshire in the early years of last century and were begining to be found as far north as Yorkshire by the 1970's. So interesting to see they have made it to the Scottish Borders.
